QFM High Performance Street and Track Pads!

QFM A1RM fitted to JZA80 Supra!

UPDATE: Took these out at Sandown... no brake fade what so ever! the pads / fluid held out really well, and was still pulling up the car after a whole day of hard braking both in the wet and dry! Totally impressed by these pads and I highly recommend them!

QFM Pads Fitted to BA Falcon!

Hi,

I own and drive a BA Futura 4.0L auto sedan. I was so impressed with the performance of your QFM pads on my BA Falcon I though I would drop you a email.

Ok firstly I spoke to someone there questioning on what pads and what improvement I could expect and was told QFM pads and around 10% or so, ok that was sure a understatement.

I had the QFM pads and new DBA slotted rotors fitted and I got to say I was very surprised the 10% improvement was wrong try 40 to 50%.

I have found that now braking is effortless less peddle pressure is required and the actually braking action is a major improvement, when I say peddle pressure I mean before on the standard BA pad and rotors you had to apply a reasonable heavy pressure to apply the brakes where now its almost just a toe pressure to apply the same braking effort.

Stopping from 100K’s the difference is easily 3 to 4 car lengths and as before less peddle pressure. One of the keys here as well as the stopping improvement is the requirement to use less peddle pressure this is something that the older drivers would appreciate not to mention make for safer driving.

I feel fitting the QFM pads and DBA rotors has made my vehicle much safer to drive and given me more security in the braking department.

QFM HPX Fitted to S13!

If there were any doubters, I have the HPX pads on my S13 (with an R33 GTS-T hub/brake conversion) and oh my God it pulls up very fast on RDA slotteds. they can take a fair bit of abuse but if you were ever going to track the car you'd go for A1RMs.

For the money, hard to fault!

I'd been thinking about new pads for a while and wanted to get some in time for a recent track day, but left it too late.

I've been running a larger brake setup on my Polo GTI for about 7 months now and it was satisfactory until the track day. After 3 x 15min sessions, my pads were glazed, smoking and the car was not stopping fast enough. After removing the glaze the pads have not felt right and the pedal seems to sink a long way down before I get adequate bite.

So I ordered a set of the A1RM's from Greg and GSL, came today. Pads looked good and fitted fine.

I went to my local mall with some break-in driving on the way. I was very cautions when I started driving as I thought they would be pretty average for the first bunch of kms.

Bite from cold, 1st time was great. Without any preparation the brakes bit harder than my last pads (stock Audi TT pads for the Audi TT Mk1 fwd setup). The brake feel has already improved and I dont feel the spongy feeling I had previously and before the track day. I was concerned that changing the pads was not going to change anything and that there was a problem / limitation elsewhere.

I'll give them some time to bed in and then give them a proper go, but for a very cost effective change, I'm pleased with how much more confidence I have and the ease of braking.

Props to Greg for his help, communication and quick shipping. Have to give this one a thumbs up.

QFM HPX Fitted To VX Commodore!

I've just fitted some HPX pads to my VX Commodore (its just a daily runabout / family car) and wow, the cold bite on them is awesome and once they were warmed up wow! The abs kicks in so quickly! Very very impressed with them! Will definitely be recommending these pads to everyone I know!

I have had the HPX pads front and rear of my 97 Golf 2.0 for a month or two now and I'm a big fan. The price was one of the best I could find, who ever I spoke to at GSL was really nice and the pads themselves stop great. Wayy better then the supercheap ones I had before which cost more. And my wheels are staying clean much longer then they used to. Very happy customer. They also got to sydney the day after order for next to nothing cost.

The OEM front rotors from VW Australia are *hideously* expensive. I was quoted $580 each at trade price.

I can get them for less then US$200 each (before shipping) from either GAP or ECS, which makes the trade price from VW in Australia a blatent ripoff - a ripoff I'd like to avoid supporting if possible.

For the price you've quoted on slotted rears, I'll take a set. I'll give you a call later today.

Hello Greg,
What is the rotor width minimum in ?mm if mine measure up at 20mm?
Cheers Al

Hi mate, im sure i told you the size over the phone, anyway its 19mm, so your new pads will out live your current discs, i would be thinking about replacing them. Probably best to ask these sort of questions in the Polo section, it has more traffic as this is primarily a business section. All good
Cheers

Hi Jimmy, thanks I'm so new at this..... will try harder to get into the correct swing of things. Cheers Al

Is it 119 a set for the A1RM's for the MK6 Golf GTI as well?

[gslrallysport]

Hi Daniel,

A1RM to suit Mk6 Golf GTi are $179 per axle set front or rear, and on the shelf. These are a full custom pad, and thus the extra expense unfortunately.

Regards,
Greg

How you going mate, im wanting to buy a set of front and rear pads and new rotors for my 05/1994 Golf VR6 with the 280mm vented set up. Any chance you have what im looking for ? I dont want anything fancy just a good set up with better stopping power than the OEM stuff that VW sell. Oh yeah mine also have the wear pad indicators but am not fussed if they dont come fitted as i can just wire them up. Cheers B
