Brake pads GALFER or OEM KIA
I order the Galfer e-bike brake pads G1652 from Amazon and they fit really well. Definitely would recommend
Pros: fit well, recommend
Part number: G1652
Galfer pads and rotors. I'm 210lb and can confidently slow down with rival flat mounts and 160mm rotors
Pros: confident slowing
Galfer pro pads are the best ones I have ever used. They have more power, maybe same amount of modulation as shimano ones, they seem to resist fade better amd have ok life span.
Pros: more power, better fade resistance
Cons: ok life span
1st step, better pads for more initial bite and overall stopping power. Galfer HH can be had for $80 front and rear, you can spend a lot more on performance/track pads if you want the best.
Pros: more bite, stopping power
Galfer Front Brake Pads Brand New not imported to the USA- $110+shipping
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
The rotors/brake pads are notoriously bad. The oem pads leave uneven deposits on the rotor. Causes shaking while braking. Ive replaced rotors twice. Got better pads and drilled and slotted rotors. No issues since.
Pros: better pads, drilled rotors
Cons: uneven deposits, shaking
Vehicle:
Kia
Mileage: 109000 km
I just switched from OEM (Brembo HH Sintered, I think) pads to Galfer HH Sintered pads. I forgot to scotchbrite the discs and I think I glazed everything up during bedding-in process. I used scotchbrite like mad on the discs and sanded the pads with 220 grit until they were dull like when new, but the brakes seem to have the same behavior - heavy brakes test after 10 mile bed-in ride, the brakes plateau without getting to ABS trigger unless I squeeze like a motherfucker. The previous pads I could stand up on the front wheel with one or two fingers, so I feel like I've done something wrong.
Cons: brakes plateau, ABS trigger
