QFM HPX VT-VZ Police Spec Performance Brake Pads

[gregiem]

Sorry Greg, I should have used my brain and not expected you to read my mind.
I know my rotors & pads are stuffed and I reckon the fluid is the same now.
I only use it on the street, but with some heavy towing 1/2 a dozen times a year.

No dramas.

Individual pricing is as follows:

Front Slotted Rotors $185 pair
Rear Slotted Rotors $165 pair
Front HPX Pads (Full Face Police Spec) $79
Rear HPX Pads $79
1L bottle of TRW GP600 High Performance Brake Fluid $65

The HPX are more than enough for towing, we use that exact setup on my Cross 6 which tows the rally car across the country.

Let me know what you're interested in, and I'll do up a final price including freight etc.

QFM A1RM Fitted to an R33 GTR

Fitted a full set of A1RM's to my R33 late last year
Have given them a right caning through the Dandenongs a couple of times now and they are AWESOME!
They seem to give progressively more bite the harder you push them... no fade.
Not too much dust, only tiny amount of squeal (only at crawling speeds with the window down - but you don't get something for nothing)
These pads cannot be beaten for value for money

On a side note - Bluing on the rotor indicates high heat, and usually in contact with high chromium content pads. Greening on the rotor is often high cupro nickel content pads.

Chrome is hard and abrasive.

Want you want for good pads is a coefficient of friction that doesnt change. So they work equally well cold and hot. that way your brake pedal doesn't fade, stiffen or change how much effort is required to brake. High coefficients are generally better, but too high and it will be too easy to trigger the ABS.

Really high coefficient pads generally wear faster, both rotor and pad.

I found the QFM police pads bloody brilliant. Pull your eyeballs out brilliant.

G'day Greg,
I'v been reading your posts about these brake pads with interest and now its time to change pads. I have an ex-police VZ Exec, so it already has the larger surface front pads fitted. How do I arrange and pay for a new set to be posted out to me?
Thanks, Phil.

[gslrallysport]

Hi Phil,

Easiest way to order is to pm me your details, full name, delivery address (preferably a work or business address), contact number and email address, and I can fire you through an invoice with direct deposit details, or else credit card over the phone is also available, 1300 884 836.

HPX or A1RM pads? Front, or front and rear? Front and rear together have free shipping.

Regards,
Greg

More news just in!!!

Just a quick update. Went to Winton over the long weekend with a set of QFM A1RM's which performed outstandingly. The GTiR has very average brakes to begin with which normally fit inside a 14" rim. But the pads (with std rotors) performed extremely well with no fade. Was literlly off my seat slightly standing on the brakes at the end of the straight.

PerformanceForums - View Single Post - which pads

[Escape-The-Fate]

hey mate got a vz exec and the rear pads are just about shagged...so thinking of getting the police spec pads...the rotors are still fine so just replacing the pads should be fine as a guess??...and id replace front and back pads..keep the old rotors on there untill they are either warped or just shagged themselves.

cheers jim80

[gslrallysport]

Jim,

Replacing just the pads is fine provided there's no obvious signs of damage to the rotors, or excessive ridges...

A full set of QFM HPX pads front and rear would be $158 delivered. If you do need new rotors, they're not ridiculously expensive at $55 each for the front and $45 each for the rear.

Greg

Any chance of more specials? May - June or something? I want front and back QFM HPX for my VT.

[gslrallysport]

Hi mate,

No, there will never be a return to the half price rears deal. The half price rears deal was just a promo to get the pads out there, and tested and known. We lost big money on selling the rears at half price, and we just wrote it off on promotion.

List price is $99, so at $79 per set they're still well below list, and with front and rear purchased together you get free shipping, so $158 is still a very good price for a full car delivered. Especially considering the equivalent pads in a Bendix Ultimate Police spec are nearly $150 just for the fronts alone.

Regards,
Greg

A1RM fitted to WRX!

I did an AHG tuning arvo on the 24th April and I was in need of some decent pads but as ever money and time came in to the choices of what was available.

I know DS2500 are the usual route to take however I found the pricing of what was available in Perth rather hard to swallow and the interstate postage some people wanted to charge was scandalous so I began to search around for the alternatives and came across GSL Rallysport and the QFM pads....at the time they were even running a half price rears and free delivery offer.

So I placed an order for their A1RM track pads, they had sold out of WRX pads because of the special offer however I was assured that because of the trackday booking my order was priority and I would get my pads on time and at the special offer price. Emails and calls were returned very quickly which was a refreshing change.

As promised my pads were delivered to my place of work on time and I fitted them that night.

Out on the road they felt good from brand new. I gave them half a dozen 80-20kmh 'slows' and they immediately firmed up and they started biting hard. They did not need any more running in.

Under normal driving conditions they feel just like the stock Subaru pads, no squeeling, juddering, grinding and they work just like a stock pad from cold.

On the trackday they worked brillinatly. First corner they worked straight away...by the second and third corners I could really lean on them. We were running 2 laps at a time on the circuit and they did not fade at all or even begin to smell like they were getting hot.

On the skid pan where you are only jabbing the brakes and not building any heat in them they still worked exactly as you would expect.

Now obviously at AHG its only short stints of work but I have no reason to believe the pads would not cope with heavier use. I plan on giving them a go at Wanneroo soon.

Dont be put off by the price guys, these pads really do as they say on the box and make a fantastic every day, multi-use performance pad!!

Just for the record...I have no link to GSL Rallysport or QFM other than being a satisfied customer.

QFM A1RM Fitted to S14 Silvia

Installed my front pads last week (A1RM) with DBA4000 rotors and so far Im very pleased. Initial bite is very good and they seem to pull the car up very quickly. So far much better than my old RB74s.

how do these compare to the super x pads?

[gslrallysport]

Super X is just the entry level cheap street pad, it's nothing special performance wise. The HPX is a big step up, with Bendix Ultimate type performance, whilst the A1RM is for street/track work, and overkill if it's only for street use.

[gslrallysport]

A1RM Fitted to a Mitsubishi Legnum (Think Evo 5, but with 200kg more weight!)

I've got A1RM front pads with slotted rotors and they are great. Makes stock brakes (in my other legnum) feel like they don't work much at all. Very impressed!!

A1RM Fitted To Skyline!

I have used them [A1RM] on my old R32 which had seen the track a few times and they were AWESOME!!! They are indeed low dust and relatively kind to the rotors for the kind of pad they are...can't recommend them highly enough...

More Outstanding Feedback on A1RM!!!

A1RM are fantastic, more bite than a standard pad when dead cold, and only get better when they get hot, and better still when they start to smoke up and the rotors go blue!

Bendix Ultimate's which I had before these for roughly the same price are absolutely terrible in comparison. Pads aren't noisy, basically the A1RM is awesome, will buy again in the future!

Pretty Much Says It All...

nothing bad to say about the QFM pads except they're not free!

A1RM Fitted to an S14!

I used these pads on my S14... held up well! Similar in pad feel to Ferrodo DS2500s but without the hefty price tag
