QFM High Performance Street and Track Pads!
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)

Some of the latest feedback on QFM pads:
A1RM
OpelAus ForumsWell 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!

Brisbane Commodore Car Club - View Single Post - QFM A1RM Report Card!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
http://forums.justcommodores.com.au/612250-post6.htmlBy 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!
The Australian 300zx Owners Association - View Single Post - Brake Pads......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!
