Makes absolutely no difference because Dot 3 and 4 aren't performance standards, they're formulation standards. 99.9% of Dot 4 fluid comes out of the same factory regardless of brand.

- QFM HPX (Bendix Ultimate equivalent, but very low dust and rotor wear) are $119 per set front or rear. - QFM A1RM (Ferodo DS2500 or Bendix SRT Equivalent) are $179 per set front or rear. Fore more information checkout www.qfmperformance.com Both front and rear A1RM are on the shelf. Both HPX fronts and rears are on back order. But we've just been supplying other brands of pads where required, like Bendix GCT, TRW Lucas or Acre.

Aftermarket strut tops are required front and rear for the DMS when fitted to the Skyline! We deal with DMS on a regular basis (ourselves and Neil Lowe are the only QLD dealers), and straight from the mouth of the engineer that makes them, they need aftermarket strut tops!

Were they installed with new strut tops front AND rear? Skyline DMS 50mm need to be installed with new pillow ball strut tops front and rear, you can't re-use the existing tops at either end.

** New thread started to include range of track only comp pads! ** 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.

For ever one person who said they've "overheated" them (which as I explained is a bit of a fallacy anyway), I can quote 20 threads or posts where people have been extremely happy with them. Their biggest problem is (as some body else alluded to) is that that put them in the car, then hit the track straight away. You can get away with that with a dedicated track only pad, not not a street/track pad like the A1RM. Their other big problem is that most of them aren't comparing apples with apples, their comparing the A1RM to pads of far higher performance, when they should be comparing the QFM Comp pads to those. The A1RM is a Ferodo 2500 equivalent, that is, a pad which is 100% streetable, but still capable of like track work, and that's exactly what it is: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...t&p=4138203 http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...t&p=4141983 http://www.boostcruising.com/forums/index....mp;p=1282506286 http://www.aus300zx.com/forum/showpost.php...mp;postcount=13 http://www.aus300zx.com/forum/showpost.php...amp;postcount=9 http://www.opelaus.com/forums/showthread.php?t=19733 http://performanceforums.com/forums/showpo...mp;postcount=62 http://www.supraforums.com.au/forum/showpo...amp;postcount=2 http://nissansilvia.com/forums/index.php?s...p;#entry5383135 http://www.opelaus.com/forums/showpost.php...mp;postcount=10 If people need pads for high end track work, then they wouldn't be running a Ferodo DS2500 anyway, they'd run something like a 3000, which in the QFM range would be a Comp9. I'm certainly not phased about a few negative comments from people who've hit the track on sticky rubber and wondered why a pad they could've put in their grandmothers 180B to drive to the shops on a zero degree morning didn't perform like a $600 race pad... But, anything higher than A1RM is a compromise on the street (like any pad is, be it Ferodo DS3000, Project Mu's H16-03, etc) in that they have rotor wear and noise that is too high, and cold (emergency) bite that is too low. If people want to run those pads in their street car, that's fine, but we're certainly not going to recommend it. So, I still 100% stand by the QFM pads, in that if people come to us asking for a street only pad, it's HPX. If people want a track pad, but say they still want to use the pads on the street, then it's the A1RM. And if people want a track only pad, or a pad that they're prepared to change to in their daily once they get to the track, then it's the Comp9. Any negative feedback needs to be not of the product, but rather of which product they chose. I personally run the A1RM in the rally car, and I can link another 50 forum posts of people who run the A1RM on the track, and love it. For reference Comp pads for the Sumitomo Nissan Calipers are $179 per axle set front or rear, and $229 per axle set for the Brembos.

Yes, and always have. Correct. If you think a 'track' specific pad that's rated to 900-1000 degrees C, if ever going to see it, then you need to do some serious analysis to what happens to rotors LONG before that temperature... Top temp rating is not what defines whether a pad will withstand track work or not. There's a reason why rotor thermal paints never show more than 630 degrees. No, we recommend these pads as a Ferodo DS2500 equivalent. That is, a 100% streetable pad, that will withstand light track work. And that's what they are. If you're willing to run a pad that's less ideal for street use, that is, higher rotor wear, more noise, less cold bite etc. then there are pads above A1RM, like Comp 9 and 12 for the front, and Comp 2 and 6 for the rear. The Comp pads are $179 per axle set front or rear, or alternatively we can also supply Project Mu HC+ for $309 per front axle set. But we'll always recommend the A1RM first to people, because anything higher than that starts to become a compromise on the street.

QFM are a cheaper alternative to Ferodo DS2500! http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...t&p=4916919

As I said in that post that Moodles quoted, the A1RM is a street pad, capable of light track work. It's not a dedicated track pad. If you want to do serious track work, step up to something like the QFM Comp 9, $179 per axle set, and is a Ferodo DS3000 equivalent pad. As apposed to the A1RM which would be a Ferodo DS2500 equivalent pad.... That's not correct. Cast iron goes through a significant structural change at 723°C. If your rotors get hotter than that, they'll be quite a different material when they cool down. In technical terms, they'll be "fscked". Google for "iron phase diagram" for more details. It's all quite irrelevant anyway, because it's uncommon to get rotors really glowing (=around 600°), even on a track. Claims beyond that are pissing into the wind. The thermographic paints like what DBA use on their high-series rotors are a good idea. They tell you what temperature your rotors have been, not what temperature they are now. http://www.dba.com.au/2006/techdocs/T027.asp . Note that they don't bother measuring rotor temperature over 630°; if you get that kind of rotor core temperature your discs are rooted - that's probably getting to the magic 723° in the rotor cheeks. So... what's the point of a friction material that's "rated" higher than that? So just be weary about what benefits you're getting from a pad that claim to work far higher than any rotor will physically get. Track pads don't have sky high temp ratings, and if they do, they've simply started a pissing contest with their competitors... What track pads are is a heavier duty versions of compounds designed to withstand sustained heat. The A1RM is a great cross over pad, but if you're serious about track work, step up to something like the Comp 9.

Just remember also that the A1RM is a street pad, capable of decent track work. The performance is very good, and we personally run it in our rally car, but most of you guys will be running relatively high horsepower, and on decent rubber. At the end of the day most lightly modified Skylines are virtually a race car with a cage. There are pads above A1RM, and a few of you may need to look at something better if you're on the edge of the A1RM. The A1RM is a Ferodo DS2500 equivalent (and MILES better than EBC Red ), but anyone who's serious about track days, will run the DS3000 on the track, and run something else on the street. The A1RM is the best cross over pad there is. Anything less won't do track work as well, and anything better won't be 100% streetable. If you're serious about track work to the point where you're going through a set of A1RM in a track day, then you need to be prepared to change pads for track use only. The next pads up are QFM Comp9 Front / Comp2 Rear combo, and each axle set is $179. Moodles, with regards to your pads, and the pictures you've posted up, the big thing for me is how unevenly the pads have worn, have a look at possibly getting the calipers rebuilt, and inspecting the pistons while they're out, there's something not 100% about how those pads have worn. Working off the backing plates being 5mm thick, the thickest remaining pad is about 3mm, with the lest less than 1mm. For there to be ANY material left on them is very good. Generally with track work pads will start to fall apart with about 3-4mm left... even the best brands. We've got a set of Pagid STi Brembo pads here that fared alot worse than those... I would've expected them to last longer than 4 x 20 minutes, but to put it in perspective, V8 Race Experience change pads (Ferodo) halfway through their day, and the average punter in those cars won't be driving as hard as you. The uneven wear isn't helping the issue, and there may be a bigger issue with the calipers, like not retracting properly, and causing higher heat and wear. If you get the calipers rebuilt, and still have the same issue, then take it as compliment cause it means you're driving bloody hard, and need to step up to something higher like the Comp range of pads....
