QFM High Performance Street and Track Brake Pads!

[gslrallysport]

http://gslrallysport.com/shop/pics/QFM_pads.jpg

GSL RallySport stocks the complete range of QFM Performance Brake Pads!

Queensland Friction Materials is a QLD based disc brake pads manufacturing business which was established in 1989.

The emphasis at QFM as been to develop high quality disc brake pads at highly competitive prices, and this follows through to their excellent performance range!

QFM's Performance Street pads fall into two compounds. The first is the HPX pad which is the perfect choice for street cars looking for excellent braking performance whilst retaining all the qualities of a good street pad. The HPX pads are ideal for high performance street cars looking for higher working temperatures with reduced fade, and also for Four Wheel Drives or vehicles looking to enhance their towing capacity or safety.The HPX pads unlike many pads in this performance range are virtually dust free, whilst maintaining low rotor wear.

QFM's second high performance street pad is the A1RM compound and provides QFM with its club sport track pad. It is ideal for high performance street cars that take to the track to test the limits, whilst still being a streetable pad. The A1RM is ideal for club level rally and hill climb where brakes are required right from the first corner!

SPECIFICATIONS
Formulation - Cold Friction - High Friction - Temperature (C)
HP-X - 0.41 - 0.42 - 0-550
A1RM - 0.40 - 0.48 - 0-780

QFM has an extensive range covering most makes or models, and can also re-line existing backing plates or old pads! If you have a 'hard-to-get-decent-material' pad, let QFM Performance put one of their high performing compounds onto your pads!

Any questions or to order, give us a bell on 1300 884 836.

Some of the latest feedback on QFM pads:

A1RM

Well I've just got back from Oz where I spent 2000km's driving on a new set of A1RM pads from gslrallysport.

These are an excellent road-track day pad and a good compromise for those that want one pad to everything!!! Much cheaper then Brands* A, B, C, D etc and as good or better...

IMHO these are excellent, very cheap (mine were about $120 for the fronts IIRC) and HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!

If you want a new set of sport pads these are the pad to get!

As to the A1RM pads, I searched and tried many types and brands to keep pace with my motorsport work, and all came up short of my expectations for the Heavyweight VE Calais-V.

I went to GSL and they were oh so helpful. They advised a set of A1RM and I subsequently fitted and have never looked back (I do run Castrol SRF fluid). The pads are awesome once bedded in.

They don't squeel, they are reasonably dust free, perform very well when cold and around town driving, but awesome on the track and twisties.

Plus the pads are reasonably cheap in comparison to some I have had on the car.

I will certainly be getting another set when these ones wear out.

HPX

By the way those pads I put on (front & rear) are bloody excellent. I already had another performance police spec pad, and apart from being dusty as all hell they stopped well. There is a definant improvement even on those!

Unfortunatly I didnt get to clean the wheels but I can see the fingerprints on the chrome are still there after a week. They dont seem to grind or squeal, and I think they have a better initial bite then as you increase pressure pull the old girl up smoothly and purposefully (if that makes sense). Brilliant stuff from pads that cost less than half the price, and are locally made.

Happy as a pig in sh$t. Infact hapy enough to buy a second set to have sit in the shed for next time!http://forums.justcommodores.com.au/612250-post6.html


I have been running the HPX on the front of the convertible for a couple of months now. I have not noticed any dust and the difference to whatever pads were there before is that they perform near 100% from the very first application!

*** Half Price Rears Deal on AE86 Rear Pads! ***

To celebrate GSL RallySport as a sponsor on AE86 we're offering rear pads at half price when purchased with fronts! Standard pricing is $79 per set front or rear in HPX, or $119 per set front or rear in A1RM. That means you can get front and rear HPX for $131 delivered, front and rear A1RM for $191 delivered, or front A1RM and rear HPX for $171 delivered!

We've currently got heaps of stock on the shelf available straight away for the AE86:

- JDM HPX Front Pads
- JDM A1RM Front Pads
- ADM HPX Front Pads
- ADM A1RM Front Pads
- ADM A1RM Front Pads minus 3mm thickness (for use with JDM ventilated rotor)
- HPX Rear Pads
- A1RM Rear Pads

Quick run down on the pads:
- The HPX is a Bendix Ultimate type performance pad, good for about 550 degrees, whilst being virtually dust free, and low rotor wear.
- The A1RM is a Ferodo DS2500 type performance pad, good for about 780 degrees, but will still work from dead cold (A1RM and HPX have the same cold friction), and relatively low dust and rotor wear. I run the A1RM in both my daily road car and rally car and it isn't a compromise in either.

Any other questions feel free to let us know, or give us a bell on 1300 884 836.

[FoldKing86]

I hope this doesnt sound too rude but has anyone tried the HPX pads on an aus-spec hachi with slotted rotor's.

Im after info like how do they fit in the caliper, nice and tight or loose and sloppy, do they fit without mods ie cutting-shaving the edges down to fit. Do they clunk everytime you apply or release the brake.

The reason i ask is im sick to death of people thinking they are brake experts and just flog off absolute crap.

[gslrallysport]

No offence taken. For us JDM and ADM are two different pads, and I know we've sold a few ADM's and never had any complaints so I can't imagine there's a problem.

What's the typical problem you're talking about? It is that you can't get a decent compound and getting them to fit involves cutting down another pad?

That's definitely not the case with the QFMs. They're ordered as a DB398 in ADM, and as a DB322 in JDM, and that's how they come. Looking at the two sets of pads side by side, they are definitely different.

The worst that can happen is if you try them and you're not happy we'll refund the purchase.

Regards,
Greg

[FoldKing86]

Yes the pad didnt fit my calipers, althought the box labelled suggested the pads are designed for toyota ae86 and charades????

Perhaps JDM ones i received.

I love these pads but they pull to the left 1 day when braking then to the right the next day. I changed back to older pads and they were fine no pulling.

Anyways, whats a set of front pads going to cost me posted to NSW 2323.

Steve

[gslrallysport]

Steve,

A set of HPX is $79 plus $10 shipping, and the A1RM (which is still 100% streetable and as good as Bendix SRT or Ferodo DS2500 in performance) is $119 plus $10 shipping.

Regards,
Greg

[gslrallysport]

Awesome pads, i use them on all my cars.

Most memorable experience with them was with my S2 RX7 that I had a few years ago. I used to be very hard on braking to the point where I was going through a set of Bendix pads every 3-4 weeks and I always has excess brake dust. Not with QFM, and they lasted at least 8-10 weeks which was awesome...

Yeah, i think he's means track days. Still, to get double the life out of one brand over another in any case is a big deal..

QFM A1RM News just in!!!

The guys at the end of the quarter mile look at me weird when i stop from 200 down to 40 in a very short period, it's not that i really want to, it's just that it is so effortless too as the retardation is so great.

I haven't had them on the track yet, but once the speedo is in the three digit zone, those a1rm seem to be the ****.

Best pad i have used so far, higher the speed the better they work, maybe it is a heat thing, but at these higher speeds they really like it.

In saying that they are still perfect on the street, as well, very important to me. No weird noises at all at legal street speeds just once you get the speed up, like freeway + speeds, they work very well.

Would have no dramas recommending them to anyone with a car they need to stop well from higher speeds.

QFM A1RM on a high modified high horsepower heavy weight VE V8 Calais!

I have had the QFM A1RM pads on for a whiles now and they have seen some hard driven Ks and bit of circuit work and they perform extremely well at full noise. What I have noticed of late though is that the longer I have them on the car the better they have become. The pedal is simply getting firmer and more responsive and the stopping power in normal daily drive conditions is even better than when they were new.

The VE Calais-V is one heavy mumma to pull up, but this combo does it well!

QFM A1RM on a Nissan S14... and I've never heard them called this before!

I'm running A1RM's f&r - I haven't noticed any excessive dust yet.

Around town & through some hills they feel great, good initial bite that progressively gets stronger until your eyes pop out your skull and your foot gets massaged by ABS. I haven't experienced any noise/squealing with these pads either. I'm very keen to give them a proper run, when I do I'll try and write up some more details.

I came off a set of Ultimates to these, these make the ultimates feel like the OEM nissan pads, prefer them over Green Stuff also.

A1RM: sexual chocolate
Ultimates/Green Stuff: what should be factory pads
Factory pads: feels like your hanging bra's out the window to slow down

And as i expected these pads didnt fit my calipers. My shit is stock as far as i know. 2nd set of performance pads and they didnt fit.
You 100% sure you've got ADM calipers? Cause JDM pads fit into ADM calipers, albeit not very well...

It's just odd now you've ordered two different brand of pads for ADM calipers and neither fitted.

Price and availabilty for the Race pads

RX7 series 4 alloy 4 spot pads

and
JDM Sprinter T series Disc Brake rear pads

For a sports sedan race car

How does these compare to the FERODO 2500 pads?

[gslrallysport]

Maybe i received jdm pads.

Can you do a pic of both to compair.

Is it possible i have a random toyota hickup caliper.

They do seem to stop pretty well no matter what pads are in there. Its mainly fade problems with cheaper pads.
Depending on what Hilux caliper is it we've probably got the pads on the shelf. We've got quite a few of those 4 pot conversion pads on the shelf in both compounds.

If we haven't got it on the shelf, we can still order it, same price, just need to allow time for manufacture, usually 6-8 weeks.

Hi mate,

Got both QFM A1RM (Street/Track) and QFM Comp 9 (Track Only) on the shelf for the S4 4 pot. A1RM $119, and Comp 9 $149.


and
JDM Sprinter T series Disc Brake rear pads
Got HPX on the shelf, $79. I wouldn't personally got any higher in the rear as the HPX is still good for 550 degrees, but has a perfectly stable friction level cold to hot, which makes it ideal for the rear. Can get the A1RM, $119, allow 6-8 weeks for manufacture.


How does these compare to the FERODO 2500 pads?
News just in with regards to the A1RM:
"So far will definately use again, good bang for buck for a dual purpose pad. At the moment they are looking like a viable alternative to DS2500's and the like but at a non theiving price."
http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/index.php?s=&showtopic=169972&view=findpost&p=4528385

The Comp 9 is a big step up again, and more like a DS3000. If it's a track only race, I'd definitely be temped to step up the QFM Comp 9.

Any other questions just let me know.

More news just in!!!

Just a quick update. Went to Winton over the long weekend with a set of QFM A1RM's which performed outstandingly. The GTiR has very average brakes to begin with which normally fit inside a 14" rim. But the pads (with std rotors) performed extremely well with no fade. Was literlly off my seat slightly standing on the brakes at the end of the straight.

I would need that bottom pad. The one with wider (for lack of a better word) ears.
The other pads fit fine though? Cause the JDM set has pretty different other pads...


Perhaps i dont have JDM calipers just the other section might be JDM, the part that has 2 x 17mm bolts holding it on???
Could very well be. I don't know about Toyota, but I know with the euro stuff alot of caliper and caliper carrier swapping goes on...


These pads are a great pad. can definately feel the lack of cold performance
That's unusual to hear... The A1RM has a cold friction of 0.40, which is miles above something like a Bendix Ultimate or EBC Green which are both around the 0.36 mark. Even QFM normal street pads are 0.41 when hot. Good feedback none the less, if you have any dramas let me know.

A1RM fitted to WRX!

I did an AHG tuning arvo on the 24th April and I was in need of some decent pads but as ever money and time came in to the choices of what was available.

I know DS2500 are the usual route to take however I found the pricing of what was available in Perth rather hard to swallow and the interstate postage some people wanted to charge was scandalous so I began to search around for the alternatives and came across GSL Rallysport and the QFM pads....at the time they were even running a half price rears and free delivery offer.

So I placed an order for their A1RM track pads, they had sold out of WRX pads because of the special offer however I was assured that because of the trackday booking my order was priority and I would get my pads on time and at the special offer price. Emails and calls were returned very quickly which was a refreshing change.

As promised my pads were delivered to my place of work on time and I fitted them that night.

Out on the road they felt good from brand new. I gave them half a dozen 80-20kmh 'slows' and they immediately firmed up and they started biting hard. They did not need any more running in.

Under normal driving conditions they feel just like the stock Subaru pads, no squeeling, juddering, grinding and they work just like a stock pad from cold.

On the trackday they worked brillinatly. First corner they worked straight away...by the second and third corners I could really lean on them. We were running 2 laps at a time on the circuit and they did not fade at all or even begin to smell like they were getting hot.

On the skid pan where you are only jabbing the brakes and not building any heat in them they still worked exactly as you would expect.

Now obviously at AHG its only short stints of work but I have no reason to believe the pads would not cope with heavier use. I plan on giving them a go at Wanneroo soon.

Dont be put off by the price guys, these pads really do as they say on the box and make a fantastic every day, multi-use performance pad!!

Just for the record...I have no link to GSL Rallysport or QFM other than being a satisfied customer.

A1RM are fantastic, more bite than a standard pad when dead cold, and only get better when they get hot, and better still when they start to smoke up and the rotors go blue!

Do you have a pad for the willwood dynalite caliper, Im running a hawk HB100G/.480 and want to try something else in a compound similar to a HT10 hawk. Its on a IP car weighing 800kgs
Hi mate,

In a car weighing 800 odd kgs HT10 are 880 degree maximum would be probably be massive overkill. If it's a dedicated race car I'd look at the QFM Comp 9, and for your Willwood calipers are $229 per axle set.

The Comp9 are 0-800 degrees, with similar friction levels to a Ferodo DS2500.

Allow 5-6 weeks for manufacture also, as this isn't a pad we've got in stock. Once you've ordered it once we'll continue to keep a set on the shelf for next time though.

Regards,
Greg

Another case of QFM A1RM for the win!

The QFM A1RM pads were a huge step up in pedal feel and control-ability...No more dead pedal, locking, ABS interference etc. The HPX pads I know nothing about but heard good things.

IMHO, if your ever doing a track day or maybe just hard driving, A1RM are the way to go...

Hey man, what pads would you recommend to match FC front calipers to ae86 disc rear.
The car will be a daily with occasional track days.

[gslrallysport]

Hi mate,

Our recommendation would definitely be QFM A1RM front and rear. The A1RM is a Bendix SRT or Ferodo DS2500 equivalent pad, but still very streetable with good cold bite and low rotor wear. The A1RM is $119 per axle set, shipping is free if you order both front and rear together (ie. $238 delivered), or else $8 per axle set individually.

Both front FC and rear AE86 A1RM in stock.

Regards,
Greg

[Dom86]

Thanks for that. I'll let you know when I need them.
What would GREEN STUFF Pads be equivalent to? They came with the calipers and are about half worn.

[gslrallysport]

Green stuff would be a rough equivalent of QFM HPX, or TRW Lucas, or Remsa. Green Stuff however have to lower friction co-ef to be useful... I'd use a TRW Lucas before I wasted spending -23 times the price on EBC Green.

[Dom86]

HAHAH Cool! From everything I've heard/read on here and in the media your QFM pads are the shit! And best bang for buck.
I need to get the car going first so I'll be it touch.
Thanks again.

What else can you say?!

I have the A1RM's and these are by far and away the best "serious use" pads I have tried, bar none!!! If you want a high performance or track day pad these are the way to go!!!

In the SRi-T I tried EBC Green, EBC Red's, EBC Yellow's, Pagid, Ferodo DS2500 and the A1RM's win hands down!!!!! They even feel better than the Endless and Project Mu pads I have tried in my other cars...

Low dust, great pedal (the best pedal feel by a long way!), and excellent fade resistance with pedal control...

Highly recommended IMHO...

QFM A1RM Fitted to JZA80 Supra!

Thought I'd add my 2c.

I recently made over my brakes with some braided lines, slotted rotors and the QFM A1RM pads. It wasn't just a pad change so I can't compare directly with the old set up however I'm bloody impressed with how the car pulls up now and I believe a lot of that is down to the new pads. The brake fade is quite minimul and significantly better than the stock Toyota pads I had on it previously. Slam on the brakes and it bites hard, time and time again. So much so that I sometimes feel if it pulled up quicker my face would somehow detach from my head and hit the windscreen like some weird crossover film between 'Gone in 60 seconds' and 'Face Off'. Unlike my old setup these certainly give me a sense of confidence through the twisties!

Either way, QFM A1RM pads = WIN

QFM are a cheaper alternative to Ferodo DS2500!

I just got the QFM A1RM's and they went well at sandown. Greg was very helpful and delivery was only 2 days.
Very cheap for $130. I don't think I'll be spending big on pads again after how they performed at Sandown.

I will monitor the wear but I get to about 220kmh before jumping on the brakes and they felt similar to my DS2500's.

QFM A1RM For the Win!

Just a bit of feedback on the A1RM that we installed on my girlfriends car a few months back. After a number of laps at Collie where previously her Ferodo's would start to get soggy, the QFM pads were still biting hard and gave her heaps more confidence in later braking. They were also biting harder from cold, and she didn't manage to get them to fade the entire time. I had a go and I was pretty impressed for the price of the pad!

QFM A1RM fitted to Subaru WRX STi with Brembo calipers!

Hi Greg,

Quick update as promised on the A1RM's after a track day;

After missing a few track days due to extreme heat I finally got my STi out at Mallala over the weekend. It was windy and wet but I still managed to give the A1RM's a good working-over. The pad's held-up very well for the full 5 x 15min sessions held throughout the day. There are two very hard braking points at Mallala from 160+ klm/** into a tight hair-pin - the A1RM's felt very reassuring with no brake fade at all. I couldn't be happier with the pads and will most likely order some for the rears soon.

Hey greg just wondering if the A1RM pads make any noise, im looking at getting some for RX7 4 pots

[gslrallysport]

Generally noise issues are related to bed in, but they can make a bit of light off-brake noise when cold... If the A1RM is making noise, then it's generally a sign that you've gone too high, and would be better off with the HPX. I run the A1RM in my daily car (Cross 6 Ute) and don't have any dramas with it.

A1RM up to the task in Rally and Race on 242mm Standard Rotors!

Just wanted to say how impressed i was with these pads.
I did a private practice session at Eastern Creek with the A1RM's on stock rotors with my X3 Excel. They didn't crack or warp the rotors, nor did they glaze or overheat the pads themselves. They would drop from 160-80 every lap at turn 2 with no fuss. Mind you it was the 20/11/09 which was 41deg and 63deg track temp. The rotors were ubove 400deg every session, after a cool down lap and drive into the pits, where they were checked. I could only guess what the temps were when the the brakes were actually being applied.

Just to back that further, the A1RM is the preferred pad of the QLD Hyundai Max Attack Challenge, which is a one make race series for stock X3 Excels of which we competed in last year:
http://www.vimeo.com/1550493

The one make series regulations stipulate standard factory specification (not slotted or drilled) rotors must be used. We were fastest 2WD in the QLD Clubman Rally Championship (not just Excels, but ALL 2WD rally cars), and regularly had our rotors red hot. I can personally vouch for that fact that even on standard rotors and calipers, the A1RM is a great performer! Even though the X3 is relatively light (1000kg odd including roll cage, sump guards etc.), they have tiny brakes (242mm rotors) and most of the quick guys are profuse left foot brakers, which works the brakes particularly hard...

I didn't compete in the series this year, but the top 3 from this year, all ran QFM A1RM pads!

QFM A1RM Fitted to JZA80 Supra!

Just an update:

I had a chance to try these pads ( qfma1 ) this sunday at Oran park GP circuit.
They were great...
I had no brake fade during the whole 3 lap supersprint sessions x5 ( total 15 laps ).
On the straights i was getting ~220km/h and brakes felt solid, didnt even give a hint of wanting to fade!

Im happy with them and for the price, you cant go wrong.
The supra is a heavier car, and it gets some good speeds, and for it not to fade is saying something.
To give you an idea, i came 3rd outright for the day and managed a 1:21

*** Use of A1RM pads in a street-only car! ***

We'd like to clear the air on an issue that has been brought to our attention. Just recently we've had a customer query us about rotor wear when using the A1RM in their road car. The customer was running A1RM in his daily, which albeit driven hard, was only used to drive to and from work, and the occasional run over the hills. The customer got 15,000 km from his rotors (which admittedly had already been machined once) and the pads.

Where this has caused some unrest is that they were very expensive two piece rotors, and so is up for new rotors at substantial cost, so in light of all this, I feel it is necessary to clear a few issues:

- The A1RM is a street/track cross over pad. Even though it is 100% streetable (cold bite is substantial, generally noise and dust are low enough), it is a pad capable of light track work (similar to a Project Mu HC+ or Ferodo DS2500), and thus will had some drawbacks when being used only in a street only driven car. If you're using the A1RM in your road car because you'd like the ultimate in street brakes, be prepared to change rotors sooner than you would with a regular street only pad.

- The pad below A1RM, the HPX, is a Bendix Ultimate equivalent in terms of performance, so is more than enough for most hard street driven cars. Because it's also very low dust and rotor wear, we supply them as a direct trade servicing pad to a local QLD Ford dealer for use in Falcon's and turbo Territories that use the C5 PBR caliper. Average pad life on those cars with the HPX is about 45-50k kms with low rotor wear.

- A rotor life of 15,000 k's on an already machined pair of rotors (so maybe 20-25,000 k's on new rotors) is fairly good for a pad with the performance of the A1RM. Equivalent pads with the same performance will be no better than this.

The A1RM gets a very good wrap because of it's price/performance ratio, and if you take your car to the track to do some light club springs or circuit work, and accept that brakes will wear out quicker using performance items, then it's still the perfect compromise. If you don't do any track work at all, then probably best to stick to the HPX.

Personally, I run the A1RM in both my rally car, and road car, and don't have an issue with it in either. Additionally, we're also well aware of road cars that have gotten 25,000-30,000 (about 1 year) and a couple of track days out of rotors clamped by A1RM, so the wear will vary with individual vehicles and applications.

Any further questions or dramas please do not hesitate to contact us direct on 1300 884 836.

Regards,
Greg

QFM A1RM Fitted to Mazda BA Astina!

Well it was the first round of the NSW Supersprint Championship last Sunday out at Oran Park. The A1RM's performed brilliantly and are an ideal pad for supersprinting. Because of the minimal time we get to cycle before trying to punch out a superlap, the A1RM's are ready for the first corner cold or hot. There also was no fade or pedal pressure change that I had been suffering with previous pads. The best thing about the A1RM's is the braking confidence they give you.

Thanks heaps for supplying these great pads!

QFM A1RM again outperforming expectations on the track!

GSL,

The pads arrived and were fitted up just in time for a recent club track day at Wakefield Park.

To be honest, I was absolutely amazed at their performance. They work well from cold and have so far not made any noise. When warmed up (one or two corners at the most), their bite was unbelievable (on my MX5).

It felt like I had the car standing on its nose braking into Turns 2 and 10 at Wakefield!

Their performance allowed me to brake much later than I have previously and I actually had to mentally refrain from hitting the brakes early.

And the best thing, they make minimal dust!

QFM Pads Fitted to BA Falcon!

Hi,

I own and drive a BA Futura 4.0L auto sedan. I was so impressed with the performance of your QFM pads on my BA Falcon I though I would drop you a email.

Ok firstly I spoke to someone there questioning on what pads and what improvement I could expect and was told QFM pads and around 10% or so, ok that was sure a understatement.

I had the QFM pads and new DBA slotted rotors fitted and I got to say I was very surprised the 10% improvement was wrong try 40 to 50%.

I have found that now braking is effortless less peddle pressure is required and the actually braking action is a major improvement, when I say peddle pressure I mean before on the standard BA pad and rotors you had to apply a reasonable heavy pressure to apply the brakes where now its almost just a toe pressure to apply the same braking effort.

Stopping from 100K’s the difference is easily 3 to 4 car lengths and as before less peddle pressure. One of the keys here as well as the stopping improvement is the requirement to use less peddle pressure this is something that the older drivers would appreciate not to mention make for safer driving.

I feel fitting the QFM pads and DBA rotors has made my vehicle much safer to drive and given me more security in the braking department.

QFM HPX Fitted To VX Commodore!

I've just fitted some HPX pads to my VX Commodore (its just a daily runabout / family car) and wow, the cold bite on them is awesome and once they were warmed up wow! The abs kicks in so quickly! Very very impressed with them! Will definitely be recommending these pads to everyone I know!

QFM HPX Pads Fitted To VW Golf!

I have had the HPX pads front and rear of my 97 Golf 2.0 for a month or two now and I'm a big fan. The price was one of the best I could find, who ever I spoke to at GSL was really nice and the pads themselves stop great. Way better then the supercheap ones I had before which cost more. And my wheels are staying clean much longer then they used to. Very happy customer. They also got to Sydney the day after order for next to nothing cost.

QFM HPX wins again against the competition!


QFM HPX vs. Bendix Ultimate

...Ultimates are like a set of Ferodo generic pads!

In My Opinion - I have tried both on my VX Commodore:

I had Bendix Ultimates and I found them to be noisy, very very dusty and it liked to eat out my rotors, they pull-up was okayish but I found they didn't have enough "bite" for my liking.

The QFM HPX Pads - I had them fitted to new rotors as the old ones were chewed out and could not be machined further. I purchased standard rotors after the pads had been bedded in wow.. simply wow! The pull up from them was so much better, and ABS kicked in much much quicker hardly any dust and alot less noisy.

Still some squeaks here and there but all in all, a much better improvement over the Ultimates.

QFM A1RM does the job in an Evo 3 Sprint car!

Just giving these guys a good wrap, awesome service and support! Used the QFM pads on my EVO3. I have only used them for 15kms (after a quick bed in) at the Pittsworth Sprints, work great from cold, and better with slight warm up to the dummy grid. My only advise is with EVO3's with QFM's is you'll need to a bit lighter on the brake pedal as these grip up well!

The Brutal Truth About A1RM!

I use A1RM on the track/street on a heavy arse underbraked car.

****ing brilliant, not sure how anyone drives a car without them, come into their own in the triple digit speed range.

brake dust is a royal mofo, but that's life i guess. a stock euro car with tuv standard pads dust just as bad and they are oem and don't stop as good.

i hear good things about ds2500 but at double or triple the price, forget that, the a1rm will last 3 track days for me.

not even harsh on rotors like some people toss on about, the pads are rather soft imho.

A1RM Pads Excel!

I don't normally write reviews, unless they excel or end up at the other end of the scale.

On my second set of A1RM pads now with just a 324mm rotor upgrade. Gotta say they're endurance on the track in terms of fade is exceptional. Very little fade after some heavy laps and great peddle feel all round. Not too hard on the rotors, me running out of pad at the end of the straight did a hell of a lot more damage than the pads ever did

I did chew through them though, lasted 2 track days and the odd cruise in between. But in my opinion out performed a lot of high $$ pads in terms of feel and fade, so all in all an exceptional pad for it's cost.

On the street they perform as a street pad should, good enough while cold. I drive like a grandma when the car is cold anyway.

And super quick service...next day delivery from qld to sydney...and I only ordered them at like 3pm! Massive kudos to Greg!!
