QFM's Performance Street pads fall into various compounds. The first is the HPX pad which is a 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, 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!

QFM also has a range of Comp pads, the most popular being Comp 9 for the front, and Comp 2 for the rear. The Comp pads are ideal for prolonged track use in cars doing track work! Not suitable for general street use.

Hey Greg.
I'd like to order a pair of the QFM HPX's for a friend of mine who drives a 2006 Alpha Romeo JTDM-Jet.
Would they be the same price of $79? Front.

Cheers
Terry

Thanks mate. Those aren't pads that QFM do. Our fall back brand for European cars is a European performance brand called Resma. Good for 650 degrees (or 100 degrees better than Bendix Ultimate), and very good quality. Remsa is actually the company that manufactures TRW's pads... (but they're different pads)

Remsa to suit are $125 for the front, and $75 for the rear. Fronts include the electronic wear sensor as standard, thus the extra cost.

Regards,
Greg

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!!
