SRiT has same pads as other 5 stud Astra's, but bigger rotors. I have a feeling VXR is the same deal, but I'm sure someone will confirm. If I get a chance I'll have a look at some overseas listings...

Will these leave masses amount of brake dust compared to the stock GMH items?

[gslrallysport]

HPX is virtually dust free. A1RM puts out some dust, but MILES less than OEM/Lucas/TRW/Ultimates/2500 etc..

First post edited with comparable pads.

QFM A1RM Fitted To Honda Civic!

The pads are mostly bedded in and I must say that I am VERY impressed.
Even when I was doing the progressive bedding (60-20, 80-20) they pulled up extremely well.

Very happy, will buy again!

I have the A1RM's and these are by far and away the best "serious use" pads I have tried, bar none!!! If you want a high performance or track day pad these are the way to go!!!

In the SRi-T I tried EBC Green, EBC Red's, EBC Yellow's, Pagid, Ferodo DS2500 and the A1RM's win hands down!!!!! They even feel better than the Endless and Project Mu pads I have tried in my other cars...

Low dust, great pedal (the best pedal feel by a long way!), and excellent fade resistance with pedal control...

Highly recommended IMHO...

Greg,

If it helps the part numbers for the VXR front pads are

GM 9318 6003 and mine has Ferodo 448866's in it.

The Sri-t GM Part Number I have is GM 93186713

[gslrallysport]

Don't think any of that helps unfortunately. I can work off Opel numbers (which are only 7 digits) or Ferodo numbers that start with FDB.

Alternatively can also cross to VWA, Textar, FMSI, Bosch and TRW.

Those GM numbers are staight from the latest Opel EPC

[gslrallysport]

They could be Vaxhuall numbers... Have a squiz at:
http://www.remsa.com/catalogo_pastillas.php?ref=2683.02
and it's got a list of OEM crosses for a sample Astra G pad. As far as I know (and Remsa is the most reliable cross reference catalog on the planet for euro stuff), Opel should only have 7 digits.

[Nurb608]

OK, maybe it's this one for the OPC, 16 05 098.
