QFM High Performance Street and Track Pads!

QFM A1RM Fitted to JZA80 Supra!

Just an update:

I had a chance to try these pads ( qfma1 ) this sunday at Oran park GP circuit.
They were great...
I had no brake fade during the whole 3 lap supersprint sessions x5 ( total 15 laps ).
On the straights i was getting ~220km/h and brakes felt solid, didnt even give a hint of wanting to fade!

Im happy with them and for the price, you cant go wrong.
The supra is a heavier car, and it gets some good speeds, and for it not to fade is saying something.
To give you an idea, i came 3rd outright for the day and managed a 1:21

Big thanks to gslrallysport
Will be buying from again

*** Use of A1RM pads in a street-only car! ***

We'd like to clear the air on an issue that has been brought to our attention. Just recently we've had a customer query us about rotor wear when using the A1RM in their road car. The customer was running A1RM in his daily, which albeit driven hard, was only used to drive to and from work, and the occasional run over the hills. The customer got 15,000 km from his rotors (which admittedly had already been machined once) and the pads.

Where this has caused some unrest is that they were very expensive two piece rotors, and so is up for new rotors at substantial cost, so in light of all this, I feel it is necessary to clear a few issues:

- The A1RM is a street/track cross over pad. Even though it is 100% streetable (cold bite is substantial, generally noise and dust are low enough), it is a pad capable of light track work (similar to a Project Mu HC+ or Ferodo DS2500), and thus will had some drawbacks when being used only in a street only driven car. If you're using the A1RM in your road car because you'd like the ultimate in street brakes, be prepared to change rotors sooner than you would with a regular street only pad.

- The pad below A1RM, the HPX, is a Bendix Ultimate equivalent in terms of performance, so is more than enough for most hard street driven cars. Because it's also very low dust and rotor wear, we supply them as a direct trade servicing pad to a local QLD Ford dealer for use in Falcon's and turbo Territories that use the C5 PBR caliper. Average pad life on those cars with the HPX is about 45-50k kms with low rotor wear.

- A rotor life of 15,000 k's on an already machined pair of rotors (so maybe 20-25,000 k's on new rotors) is fairly good for a pad with the performance of the A1RM. Equivalent pads with the same performance will be no better than this.

The A1RM gets a very good wrap because of it's price/performance ratio, and if you take your car to the track to do some light club springs or circuit work, and accept that brakes will wear out quicker using performance items, then it's still the perfect compromise. If you don't do any track work at all, then probably best to stick to the HPX.

Personally, I run the A1RM in both my rally car, and road car, and don't have an issue with it in either. Additionally, we're also well aware of road cars that have gotten 25,000-30,000 (about 1 year) and a couple of track days out of rotors clamped by A1RM, so the wear will vary with individual vehicles and applications.

Any further questions or dramas please do not hesitate to contact us direct on 1300 884 836.

Regards,
Greg

Went for a drive in Daves chaser the other day, he has the A1RM pads and wow can feel the difference after being a passenger in mine compared to being a passenger in his.

QFM A1RM Fitted to Mazda BA Astina!

Well it was the first round of the NSW Supersprint Championship last Sunday out at Oran Park. The A1RM's performed brilliantly and are an ideal pad for supersprinting. Because of the minimal time we get to cycle before trying to punch out a superlap, the A1RM's are ready for the first corner cold or hot. There also was no fade or pedal pressure change that I had been suffering with previous pads. The best thing about the A1RM's is the braking confidence they give you.

Thanks heaps for supplying these great pads!

QFM A1RM used on the track in a 350RWKW GTST!

I'm running QFM's A1RM's front and rear in my car paired up with slotted RDA rotors.

On the street I find them very good, not much noise unless a flogging is order of the day.

On the track I thought they were fantastic. They bite well, feel very nice and consistent.

They didn't fade on me once.

For what I do, street and track work they are ideal.

And for the price I think are probably the best value/performance items I have bought!

Feedback from a 300ZX at Winton on A1RM Street/Track Pads!

I hit the A1RM pads HARD at Winton. ( i also replaced the fluid with Penrite SIN synthetic)

These pads are really good. I had zero brake fade on the stock calipers. I actually wasnt expecting much.

They remained tight and still usable even after the hardest laps.

Cant recommend them enough.

I need a set of stock A1RM rears for the race car now.

QFM HPX Fitted to VZ SV6!

Got the pads put on today....freaking awesome man. I'll be highly recommending these to anyone who asks. The cold bite and the amount of speed it wipes off is just awesome!

Another Happy QFM HPX Customer!

Will happily vouch for the HPX's... been running them and find they grab well, dont make noise or dust, and they are made here in Australia for a great price.

You'd be hard pressed to find a reason not to try them

QFM A1RM Fitted to Nissan 300ZX!

Put A1RM's in last week, and after a suitable wearing in process...I am really impressed with them, both cold and warm...haven't got them hot hot yet...but so farm very impressed with how they pull up and peddle feel. To be honest they feel better than many higher priced pads I've used in the past. And definite improvement on the Ultimates I was using.

Highly recommend them to any zedder out there in the market for a new set of pads for the stocko calipers.

QFM HPX Fitted to 03 WRX!

Parts arrived and all installed.

Used the A1RM's on my car (TT Supra) and HPX on my mate's WRX. The ones on the WRX stop SOOOOOOO much better even for the lower grade pads!

Awesome pads and service all round.

Thanks

QFM A1RM - Why pay more!!!

Installed a set of A1RM's front and rear just before Z Fest. By far the best value brake pads I've ever used, no pedal fade from high speed and hardly any dust which is what I expected from a high performance pad. I liken the performance of these to an EBC Red Stuff but at a fraction of the price!

QFM A1RM again outperforming expectations on the track!

GSL,

The pads arrived and were fitted up just in time for a recent club track day at Wakefield Park.

To be honest, I was absolutely amazed at their performance. They work well from cold and have so far not made any noise. When warmed up (one or two corners at the most), their bite was unbelievable (on my MX5).

It felt like I had the car standing on its nose braking into Turns 2 and 10 at Wakefield!

Their performance allowed me to brake much later than I have previously and I actually had to mentally refrain from hitting the brakes early.

And the best thing, they make minimal dust!

Regards,
Tony
