QFM's Performance Street pads fall into various compounds. The first is the HPX pad which is a perfect choice for street cars looking for excellent braking performance whilst retaining all the qualities of a good street pad. The HPX pads are ideal for high performance street cars looking for higher working temperatures with reduced fade, and also for Four Wheel Drives or vehicles looking to enhance their towing capacity or safety.The HPX pads unlike many pads in this performance range are virtually dust free, whilst maintaining low rotor wear.

QFM's second high performance street pad is the A1RM compound and provides QFM with its club sport track pad. It is ideal for high performance street cars that take to the track, whilst still being a streetable pad. The A1RM is ideal for club level rally and hill climb where brakes are required right from the first corner!

QFM also has a range of Comp pads, the most popular being Comp 9 for the front, and Comp 2 for the rear. The Comp pads are ideal for prolonged track use in cars doing track work! Not suitable for general street use.

SPECIFICATIONS
Formulation - Temperature ©
HPX - 0-550 Performance Street
A1RM - 0-780 Street/Light Track
Comp 9 - 0-800 Dedicated Track

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

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!

Are the ACRE pads the Super Fighter model? What's the price for a full set front and rear to suit the R33 GTS-t model delivered to Vic 3151?

How do these compare to the QFM HPX - 0-550 Performance Street model at a cheaper $79?

Cheers,

Andy

Hi Andy,

Yep, they're the Super Fighters/Safety GP (exactly the same pad):
Applicable rotor temperature: 0~450℃
Friction coefficient: 0.35~0.45μ

I personally would still take the cheaper QFM HPX pads. The HPX is higher performance, whilst still being very low dust and rotor wear. The Super Fighters would be the equivalent to the next pad down in QFM, the Super X.

Shipping on front and rear pads is free, or else $8 per axle set individually.

Any other questions feel free to give us a bell on 1300 884 836.

Regards,
Greg

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.
