More positive feedback from HPX users! QUOTE HPX Pads received Greg- fantastic delivery speed!! Bedded them in last night and i can say i'm VERY impressed. They have more bight and better co efficient than the RB74's i was previously using with better pedal modulation. http://ozvr4.com/forums/showpost.php?p=128...p;postcount=134

QFM HPX Pads Fitted To An Import Legnum VR4! QUOTE Got my HPX pads bedded in now and they are very impressive. Progressive and pull up very smoothly, or VERY quick if you really want. They also produce stuff all dust and aren't noisy at all with my slotted rotors either. For the money these are excellent pads and much more confidence inspiring than the crappy pads that were on for compliance. http://ozvr4.com/forums/showpost.php?p=128...p;postcount=136 |

Another case of QFM A1RM for the win! QUOTE The QFM A1RM pads were a huge step up in pedal feel and control-ability...No more dead pedal, locking, ABS interference etc. The HPX pads I know nothing about but heard good things. IMHO, if your ever doing a track day or maybe just hard driving, A1RM are the way to go... http://www.opelaus.com/forums/showpost.php...mp;postcount=19 |

Thanks mate! I talked to QFM about it, and yep, they just put 4 x inner pads, instead of 2 x outer pads to match. I got 2 more sets of your front pads in late last week, and they were fine, so it's just a one off, and as luck would have it, unfortunately you got it! |

QUOTE (lil_foy @ Oct 10 2009, 08:23 AM)  As you know we had our mishaps but the pads are mostly bedded in and I must say that I am VERY impressed. Also, give them time. Generally they're at their best after they've had 1-2 months to bed in and face up to rotor properly. |

What else can you say?! QUOTE 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... http://www.opelaus.com/forums/showpost.php...mp;postcount=10

QFM HPX Fitted To VT V8 Holden Calais! QUOTE 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: http://forums.justcommodores.com.au/1322224-post106.html |

QFM A1RM Fitted to JZA80 Supra! QUOTE 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 http://www.supraforums.com.au/forum/showpo...mp;postcount=64 |

QFM are a cheaper alternative to Ferodo DS2500! QUOTE I just got the QFM A1RM's and they went well at sandown. Greg was very helpful and delivery was only 2 days. Very cheap for $130. I don't think I'll be spending big on pads again after how they performed at Sandown. I will monitor the wear but I get to about 220kmh before jumping on the brakes and they felt similar to my DS2500's. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...t&p=4916919 |

QFM A1RM - JZA80 Supra with upgraded 4/2 pot brakes! QUOTE Well said and i couldn't agree more. I have been running with QFM A1RM pads in my RZ Supra (4/2 pot) for about two months now and i have not looked back. I previously had Project Mu's and for street and the odd track day i would not recommend anything other than the A1RM's. A fantastic, excellent performing pad from the moment you leave the garage! http://www.supraforums.com.au/forum/showpo...mp;postcount=74 |

QFM A1RM For the Win! QUOTE Just a bit of feedback on the A1RM that we installed on my girlfriends car a few months back. After a number of laps at Collie where previously her Ferodo's would start to get soggy, the QFM pads were still biting hard and gave her heaps more confidence in later braking. They were also biting harder from cold, and she didn't manage to get them to fade the entire time. I had a go and I was pretty impressed for the price of the pad! No link available, sent via Email! |

QFM A1RM fitted to Subaru WRX STi with Brembo calipers! QUOTE Hi Greg, Quick update as promised on the A1RM's after a track day; After missing a few track days due to extreme heat I finally got my STi out at Mallala over the weekend. It was windy and wet but I still managed to give the A1RM's a good working-over. The pad's held-up very well for the full 5 x 15min sessions held throughout the day. There are two very hard braking points at Mallala from 160+ klm/hr into a tight hair-pin - the A1RM's felt very reassuring with no brake fade at all. I couldn't be happier with the pads and will most likely order some for the rears soon. Regards, Mark Sent via email, no link available |

QFM A1RM Fitted to R33 GTS-T Skyline! QUOTE Have a set of a1rm on the front of my 33 gtst, definitely excellent value for money. After a hard session I'd hardly have any stopping power with OEM pads and would have to waste time letting them cool down, with the a1rm pads on I've not yet experienced fade and have plenty of bite where the oem's would have led me in to the nearest wall! http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...t&p=4965382 |

QFM HPX High Performance Street Pads fitted to Mazda 6 MPS AWD! QUOTE Clocked up a few kilometres now and still pretty impressed, especially with the pedal feel. I believe the new pads saved me from a mess today, I was driving at just under 60 kph beside a truck turning left in the the left lane (Bathurst RTA) when a Holden Rodeo pulled out in front of the truck. Spectacular quick stop with no dramas, just a few of those in and out words from my usually sedate co-pilot. Virtually no dust - great Terrific initial response on pedal Thanks QFM & GSL RallySport - It would not have pulled up in time with the stock pads. http://www.ozmpsclub.com/forum/gsl-rallysp....html#post75096 |

QUOTE (nat123x @ Dec 5 2009, 12:06 AM) also how much for ebc greenand red stuff for lexus is200 sports luxury 1999 model. front and back set. Hi mate, Green Stuff Front - $202 Rear - $160 Red Stuff Front - $330 Rear - Not available EBC however are a very over priced pad for what they are, and on non-European rotors, are actually quite poor performers. We've got a stack of other options that I'd recommend long before the EBC. If you're after a EBC Green equivalent: QFM HPX Front $79 Acre Rear $79 If you're after an EBC Red equivalent: QFM A1RM Front $119 Remsa Rear $89 For more information on both the HPX and A1RM checkout www.qfmperformance.com But basically the HPX is a Bendix Ultimate equivalent performance wise, but VERY low dust and rotor wear. The A1RM is a Ferodo DS2500 equivalent (so actually better than EBC Red), and what I personally run in my rally car. The A1RM is still however 100% streetable. Any other questions fee free to give us a bell on 1300 884 836. Regards, Greg |

QFM A1RM Fitted to Toyota JZX100 Turbo Chaser! QUOTE A bit of an update guys. Have just fitted set of the A1RM pads to my 100 today, and taken it around the streets to bed them in.. and my god the improvement over the pads that were in it previously (presume OEM pads) is amazing. The responsiveness of brake pedal is awesome, even when they are still pretty cold. Haven't had chance to take it for a proper hills run, so we'll see how they perform there but is all very promising! http://www.jzx100.com/forum/index.php?show...ost&p=65063 |

QUOTE (BioBa @ Dec 15 2009, 04:10 PM) Hello, Is the A1RM available for AP calipers? I have a BMW M3 E46 2006 with a AP Brake kit front and back. Front is 6-PISTON 2-PIECE 14" ROTOR (CP5555) AP3800SR Rear is AP3850CR 4-Piston CP5144/5147/5155 Please let me know. Hi mate, Neither is a pad that QFM have on the the shelf. We can get them custom made, for A1RM would be $179 per axle set and allow 5-6 weeks for manufacture. Also need to know the pad height of both pads. Whether the fronts are D51 or D54, and the rears whether it's D43 or D51. The fronts in D54 we have on the shelf in A1RM ($179), but it's more likely to be the D51. (All D figures are expressed in mm as per AP's specs). Front D51 http://www.apracing.com/info/products.asp?...894D51_2502_993 D54 http://www.apracing.com/info/products.asp?...894D54_2503_993 Rear D43 http://www.apracing.com/info/products.asp?...340D43_2481_993 D51 http://www.apracing.com/info/products.asp?...340D51_2482_993 Any questions feel free to give us a bell on 1300 884 836.

QFM HPX Fitted to VL Commodore! QUOTE First of all the customer service is GREAT, along with the advice, quick replies to e-mails and postage times etc. etc. I couldn't ask for anything more. Now i got a set of HPX pads for the front of my VL Berlina, i also upgraded to a RBF600 type fluid as I was advised by Greg, after having them sitting in my room for 2 weeks I managed to find time to put them in, straight away i noticed a difference in braking and in the pedal compared to the old pads, I've now been driving around on them for almost 2 weeks, and am very very happy with them, i have alot more trust in my brakes during the "spirited driving" moments and also "tested" them from 100klm hr to almost a dead stop - and am amazed how quick it pulled up! So thank you very much again for all your Help - Advice - Great Product and sponsorship of BCCC! Another happy customer http://www.brisbanecommodore.com/bccc/show...mp;postcount=30 |

A1RM up to the task in Rally and Race on 242mm Standard Rotors! QUOTE Just wanted to say how impressed i was with these pads. I did a private practice session at Eastern Creek with the A1RM's on stock rotors with my X3 Excel. They didn't crack or warp the rotors, nor did they glaze or overheat the pads themselves. They would drop from 160-80 every lap at turn 2 with no fuss. Mind you it was the 20/11/09 which was 41deg and 63deg track temp. The rotors were ubove 400deg every session, after a cool down lap and drive into the pits, where they were checked. I could only guess what the temps were when the the brakes were actually being applied. QUOTE Just to back that further, the A1RM is the preferred pad of the QLD Hyundai Max Attack Challenge, which is a one make race series for stock X3 Excels of which we competed in last year: http://www.vimeo.com/1550493 The one make series regulations stipulate standard factory specification (not slotted or drilled) rotors must be used. We were fastest 2WD in the QLD Clubman Rally Championship (not just Excels, but ALL 2WD rally cars), and regularly had our rotors red hot. I can personally vouch for that fact that even on standard rotors and calipers, the A1RM is a great performer! Even though the X3 is relatively light (1000kg odd including roll cage, sump guards etc.), they have tiny brakes (242mm rotors) and most of the quick guys are profuse left foot brakers, which works the brakes particularly hard... I didn't compete in the series this year, but the top 3 from this year, all ran QFM A1RM pads! https://www.boostcruising.com/forums/index....mp;p=1285093270 https://www.boostcruising.com/forums/index....mp;p=1285094072 |

QFM A1RM Fitted to JZA80 Supra! QUOTE 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 http://www.supraforums.com.au/forum/showpo...mp;postcount=79 |
