    I've only had the cheaper Super X for a small amount of time, but they seem really good. Good bite without grabbing, virtually no dust at all to speak of. Much better then whatever was on it before (likely GMH).

    HPX is the next pad up from Super X, and they're very similar, except that the HPX is rated to 550 degrees, versus about 450 for the Super X. Other than that they're formulated very close together. We don't stock any Super X (but can obviously order in) because for us the HPX is still a 100% street pad, so that's our entry point.

    Then you get the A1RM, which is on a completely different planet...

    QFM HPX Fitted To VT V8 Holden Calais!
    My Calais was simply unstopable, brakes had no feel, no stopping power, it was no good at all. Then I discovered HPX brake pads. My car feels so much better, the car pulls up really quick with no brake noise and they don't fade at all.

    THANKS GSL :yeah:

    Shipping on front and rear together (or any two axle sets) if free. Otherwise $8 per axle set individually.

    QFM A1RM Fitted to JZA80 Supra!
    Thought I'd add my 2c.

    I recently made over my brakes with some braided lines, slotted rotors and the QFM A1RM pads. It wasn't just a pad change so I can't compare directly with the old set up however I'm bloody impressed with how the car pulls up now and I believe a lot of that is down to the new pads. The brake fade is quite minimul and significantly better than the stock Toyota pads I had on it previously. Slam on the brakes and it bites hard, time and time again. So much so that I sometimes feel if it pulled up quicker my face would somehow detach from my head and hit the windscreen like some weird crossover film between 'Gone in 60 seconds' and 'Face Off'. Unlike my old setup these certainly give me a sense of confidence through the twisties!

    Either way, QFM A1RM pads = WIN

    I will choose between A1RM and HPX when I need new pads.
    For my Astra, the Qs are:
    1, Does A1RM have more brake noise than HPX?
    2, How about A1RM's brake noise VS. the stock pads' noise(actually I can not hear any) ?
    3, Does A1RM mean more disc wear than HPX?

    Thanks.

    It's even easier than that...

    Q. Do you do regular track work?

    If not, then don't bother with the A1RM. Because:
    1. Yep, it can be noisier than the HPX
    2. The HPX will be near on OEM with regards to noise
    3. Yep, the A1RM will have more rotor wear than HPX.

    If any of the above a worry for a car that does track work, and would otherwise be paying $300 for pads which do all of the above even worse. No not really...

    If any of the above a worry for a daily car, that just wants better braking, without ever seeing the track. Certainly!

    The HPX is a Bendix Ultimate or Ferodo DS2000 equivalent. It's still a bloody good pad performance wise! The only reason the A1RM get's used so much in cars that it may not need to be used in, is because it's a half to one third the price of equivalent pads...

    Street/Track=A1RM
    Street Only=HPX


    Track Only= QFM Comp9

    mmm, no truck I think.

    normal daily driving, looking forward to better brake performance and better braking feeling than OEM pads.

    Thanks again!
