QFM High Performance Street and Track Pads!

Thanks for the feedback. Unfortunalely squeal is fairly common in those Sumitomo calipers regardless of what pads you run sometimes. If it continues to be a problem let me know and we can organise a set of EBC stick on shim kits to suit.

Ive used greenstuff, bendix ultimates, and a few other pads and never heard a squeal...
These are the only ones, HOWEVER, they do perform the best so... lol i dunno.
I like them, but its getting annoying. Especially when people see u in this sexy car and hear the brakes its like "FFS mate change your brakes!!"
"THEY ARE NEEEEEEWWWWWW!!!!"

hahaha

Green stuff shouldn't as they come with that stick on shim kit as standard (and I think the Ultimates do as well...) so it sounds like you've had a good run!

Like I said, if it's too much on an issue let me know and I'll send you some stick on shims.

Regards,
Greg

QFM A1RM fitted to JZA80 Supra!

UPDATE: Took these out at Sandown... no brake fade what so ever! the pads / fluid held out really well, and was still pulling up the car after a whole day of hard braking both in the wet and dry! Totally impressed by these pads and I highly recommend them!

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 S13!

If there were any doubters, I have the HPX pads on my S13 (with an R33 GTS-T hub/brake conversion) and oh my God it pulls up very fast on RDA slotteds. they can take a fair bit of abuse but if you were ever going to track the car you'd go for A1RMs.

For the money, hard to fault!

Hey mate, perhaps you could recommend me some pads for a street driven non turbo Z32, will be putting her on the track sometime soon, if you could pm me with details that'd be great.

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.

Hi mate,

The pads which we recommend for track use in a daily, is the QFM A1RM, which $119 per axle set front or rear. More importantly if you're going to do track work though is your fluid, the stuff that we use and recommend is the TRW GP600 Dot 4 Racing Brake Fluid, and is $65 for 1L bottle.

So just front and rear pads on their own would be $238 delivered, or else $303 including fluid.

Regards,
Greg

Tried digging through the thread, but what's the current price for 2x sets of qfm hpx to suit a 300zx?

gslrallysport · Oct 4, 2010

HPX to suit 300ZX are $79 per set front or rear. So front and rear for 1 vehicle would be $158 delivered.

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!
