why are they not free?......anyway where do i get them and how much for set front and rear.

[claudz]

are the ferodo ones from supercheap any good??

[FusionX]

Ferodo Zero's that Supercheap sell are crap

I run Ferodo Formula, good pad. Create a fair bit of dust and require a little bit of heat in them to work at their best.

[claudz]

ohk not keen on them then haha
what could i get for a reasonable price in perth? which wont create much dust and annoying squeeks haha

[Morton]

EBC greenstuff and redstuff pads have a good low-metal compound. Not very dusty, and easy to brush off.

Ferodo = pure crap, my wheels used to leave the shed clean, in the time i arrived at a location 5 minutes later...brake dust.

Back to EBC greenstuff and wheels stay clean for much longer if im only light braking. Even heavy braking most of the dust washes off with water without any work. I won't ever recommend any other brand of pads...

No point missed, i was happy to try the qfm pads until 4-5 people said dont waste your time. Obviously better suited to non big brake applications...yet to hear anyone with decent sized brakes have a positive comment over the greenstuffs.

ok, fair enough. But when you say "big brake" you're talking after-market rotors and calipers of a larger size than standard, or just someone with slotted and/or cross-drilled factory rotors?

Im talking anything other than what "Commodores" come out with, HSV,harrop, brembo packages etc.

The HPX which is the most popular (Bendix Ultimate equivalent, but very low dust and rotor wear) is $79 per axle set. The front for VT-VZ also come standard as a full face police spec pad.

Free shipping when you order both front and rear, so all up you'd be looking at $158 delivered.

All in stock, PM me, or give us a bell on 1300 884 836.

Brembo:

Brembo:

StopTech Calipers, which are the rebranded Harrops that come on HSVs:
PerformanceForums - View Single Post - which pads

Green stuff may be slighlty better than HPX in outright performance, but there's absolutely no comparison to A1RM. A1RM is better pad in terms of performance and dust/rotor wear compared to a Ferodo DS2500, and you won't hear anyone try and proclaim EBC Green's are better than Ferodo 2500...

You can't really say that QFM isn't suited to big brake application when it's QFM that manufacture Race Brake's own branded pads...

And finally, one more! And this one's worth reading!

^ All those pads Glenn compared the A1RM too are miles above EBC Green...
