Thought I'd add my 2c.

I recently made over my brakes with some braided lines, slotted rotors and the QFM A1RM pads. It wasn't just a pad change so I can't compare directly with the old set up however I'm bloody impressed with how the car pulls up now and I believe a lot of that is down to the new pads. The brake fade is quite minimul and significantly better than the stock Toyota pads I had on it previously. Slam on the brakes and it bites hard, time and time again. So much so that I sometimes feel if it pulled up quicker my face would somehow detach from my head and hit the windscreen like some weird crossover film between 'Gone in 60 seconds' and 'Face Off'. Unlike my old setup these certainly give me a sense of confidence through the twisties!

I'm not quite sure about all this talk of 'low dust' comes from as I find mine are pretty dusty but it could be in part to the slotted rotors or the bedding in process. We'll see how they go in the months to come but a little dust is a small price to pay for the performance I feel these pads give me anyway. I'm really looking to hitting the track now.


Either way, QFM A1RM pads = WIN
