FRONT BRAKE PADS

[giopapy]

I've been at Suzuki dealer today and I asked the price
for a set of new SUZUKI brake pads, I asked me 160.00 $
I think it's too much, in fact the last 3 times I've change it
I used to mount BREMBO sintered racing ( price is 100.00 $ ) that brakes very well
but the Brembo only run for about 3800 miles and ruin my disks.
So I visited E-BAY and I found a set of GALFER ( never heard before) for only 20.00$.
the question is GALFER a good product???
Does anybody knows it or use it?
Do I risk my life with this kind of brake pads???
There is too much price difference in my opinion, what do you think???

Galfer makes braded lines for MANY bikes... Never heard a complaint about those. I'm ½ certain that I put Galfer pads on my old CB450. IIRC, it was $27CDN for the front pair vs. $80 for stock Honda. The bike is long gone, so I can't verify.

IMO, get 'em and give it a try. For the price, even if you don't like their performance you're only out $20.

Galfer makes a wave rotor....... and they recommend only using their brake pads with their rotors! Not sure of the quality, but they make a killer set of brake rotors!
