QFM HPX wins again against the competition!
Fordlaser.com :: View topic - Brake Pad Comparison - Bendix Ultimate Vs. QFM HPXQFM 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!
Qfm High Performance Brake Pads - BoostcruisingJust 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!
PerformanceForums - View Single Post - Aggressive street pad for VT caliperI 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!
The Australian 300zx Owners Association - View Single Post - QFM High Performance Street and Track Pads!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!!
