QFM High Performance Street and Track Pads!

[Nirvandan]

Clocked up a few kilometres now and still pretty impressed, especially with the pedal feel.

I believe the new pads saved me from a mess today, I was driving at just under 60 kph beside a truck turning left in the the left lane (Bathurst RTA) when a Holden Rodeo pulled out in front of the truck. Spectacular quick stop with no dramas, just a few of those in and out words from my usually sedate co-pilot.

Virtually no dust - great
Terrific initial response on pedal

Thanks QFM & GSL RallySport - It would not have pulled up in time with the stock pads.

What pads are you on mate?

[gslrallysport]

The HPX.

Great to hear all this good feedback, will be ordering them too when the OEM pads are gone.

ok i have run these A1RM pads for about 1000k now,

when they machined my disks i think one of my disks might be warped or something because i get a squeak from the back left brake disk at low speed i know its not the pads because none of the other disks make a peep, and i notice slightly more noise braking over stock pads, however the braking performance is nothing short of amazing, get these bad boys hot and they just get better, no more visiting brake fade town at the end of a nebo run at full pelt, extremely impressed with performance, now i need some good DBA disks to show the full potential of these pads.

Great reviews for these pads... but i just bought a set of Hawk ceramic pads lol..... anyone had the Hawk ceramics? how do these compare?

[gslrallysport]

The ceramics from what I understand are more of a high performance street pad, rather than anything you'd want to hit the track with, so they'd be comparable with the QFM HPX, whilst the A1RM, in terms of performance at least, would be a big step up.

QFM A1RM Fitted to Toyota JZX100 Turbo Chaser!

A bit of an update guys. Have just fitted set of the A1RM pads to my 100 today, and taken it around the streets to bed them in.. and my god the improvement over the pads that were in it previously (presume OEM pads) is amazing. The responsiveness of brake pedal is awesome, even when they are still pretty cold. Haven't had chance to take it for a proper hills run, so we'll see how they perform there but is all very promising!

Hey Greg. I had the HPX pads fitted. The feel good, a lot better then my previous pads. Just wondering is it normal that they squeek? Doesn't happen 100% of the time but ill be slowing down at a certain speed, gradually and left wheel will squeek then ill get to 20km/h left will stop and right will then squeek. poor installation?

[gslrallysport]

Yep, when it's one side only it generally is installation or bed in. Is it front or rear?

[tone]

front only. they will squeel a bit and then one side stops. other side starts. then both with finish off. sometimes they dont. when i break slightly harder they will. Should i get it checked out?
