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

Just wondering what the rotor thickness is on the 322mm kit mate?

[gslrallysport]

Hi mate,

The VE V8 rotors are 322mm x 30mm.

Regards,
Greg

Sam, sorry no chance unfortunately.

The VB-VR conversion hubs use 12mm studs, as all Commodore's till the VE. Now the VE uses 14mm studs. So with this conversion you are mixing 12mm studs with 14mm hole discs. Unless the disc come drilled with 12mm holes, there is rocking on the studs, correct?

[gslrallysport]

The rotors used in the conversion kits are not standard VE rotors, they are specially machined and have 12mm studs.

Just out of curisoty.
When it comes time for me to replace my rotors, what options are available, am I able to get other brands in 322mm, or am i limited to RDA?

[gslrallysport]

Would be RDA only, who are keeping replacement rotors on the shelf, I am awaiting pricing, but it shouldn't hurt too much...

Cool, let me know roughly on a price of 322mm slotted and dimpled, so I know how much Im up for come crunch time.

QFM HPX fitted to Mitsubishi Legnum VR4!

Awesome pads, No dust no noise. Worked far better then my previous set of Bendix Pads. Recommend to anyone whether you drive an import or not!

On a VS, with the conversion it needs to be hacked at a fair bit, but definitly leave it on, just cut it to fit the brakes.

Hey Greg, how'd you go with those prices?

I thought i might have to, just cut the lip off from around the edge?

I cant remember if I cut the lip or not.
But where the caliper bolts, you need to cut the top and bottom so it fits, it will make sense once you do it. Just have an angle grinder or a dremel or something handy when you go to do it.

Sorry mate,

Slotted are $249 for the pair, Gold Passivated Slotted and Dimpled are $365 for the pair.

Cheers mate. Are the slotted and dimpled available without the "gold passivated", like the stanadards ones in the kit?

Ok I'm trying to put VE HSV (AP racing 4 piston) Calipers and 365/350mm discs on a HQ.
Any advice, Icant find anyone that has tried this.
I'm only posting here because they are commodore brakes.
Was hoping you guys could give me some info

[gslrallysport]

Hi mate,

Unfortunately custom brake setups aren't something we deal in.

Best of luck finding someone who can help.

Regards,
Greg

Greg, I have a VK commodore with F90 Simmons 16" wheels, what Brakes and pads would you recommend for Track days?

[gslrallysport]

Hi mate,

Were you wanting to upgrade your front calipers, or just pads and rotors?

Ideally I'd go the 298mm VE upgrade kit as per the first post, $895, then get QFM A1RM pads all round ($238 for the vehicle set) and some rear slotted rotors, $149 for the pair. And that will do a bloody good job on the track for the weight of the car!

Regards,
Greg

[wrenchnut360]

i have been given a set of standard vx r8 slotted and drilled rotors never used
and i would like to put them on my vt...can anyone recomend what kind of
calipers would i need to put them on my car ?

[gslrallysport]

Hi mate,

Which size rotors are they? Are they the 330 or 343mm fronts?

Regards,
Greg
