Queensland Friction Materials

GSL RallySport stocks the complete range of QFM Performance Brake Pads

Queensland Friction Materials is a QLD based disc brake pads manufacturing business which was established in 1989.

The emphasis at QFM as been to develop high quality disc brake pads at highly competitive prices, and this follows through to their excellent performance range!

QFM's Performance Street pads fall into two compounds. The first is the HPX pad which is the 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 to test the limits, 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!

SPECIFICATIONS
Formulation - Cold Friction - High Friction - Temperature (C)
HP-X - 0.41 - 0.42 - 0-550
A1RM - 0.40 - 0.48 - 0-780

A1RM Brake Pads

QFM A1RM fitted to a Turbo Opel Astra G!

Well I've just got back from Oz where I spent 2000km's driving on a new set of A1RM pads from gslrallysport.

These are an excellent road-track day pad and a good compromise for those that want one pad to everything!!! Much cheaper then Brands* A, B, C, D etc and as good or better...

IMHO these are excellent, very cheap (mine were about $120 for the fronts IIRC) and HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!

If you want a new set of sport pads these are the pad to get!

QFM A1RM fitted to a VE V8 Calais!

I have recently fitted a set of QFM A1RM racing compound pads to my Calais-V. Got them from GSL Rallysport, IMHO these pads are an awesome product for around town and also track days.

Best of all there is far less brake dust than my previous performance pads.

QFM A1RM fitted to 300ZX!

I've just installed some new slotted/dimpled rotors front+rear along with some a1rm pads fronts+rears. The braking performance is great. I've used them on the track and i use them on the road at the moment and they are sweet! Now my braking performance is awesome.

Brake dust is heaps less than what my previous performance pads use to make as well...

A1RM fitted front and rear to a DeTomaso Charade Race Car in Dubai!

Hi,

Thanks for the follow up - I have had the car out on the track a couple of times now, and the A1RM pads work great - I've yet to badly fade the brakes which is good considering the size of the tiny standard Daihatsu brake discs and calipers.

I've now got an engine in the car that's making 165Hp at the wheels, with a weight of 780Kg, so its generating good speed.

Cheers

QFM A1RM Fitted to a 300ZX at Winton!

I hit the A1RM pads HARD at Winton. (I also replaced the fluid with Penrite SIN synthetic).

These pads are really good. I had zero brake fade on the stock calipers. I actually wasn't expecting much.

They remained tight and still usable even after the hardest laps!

Cant recommend them enough!

QFM A1RM Fitted to a VE V8 Commodore!

As to the A1RM pads, I searched and tried many types and brands to keep pace with my motorsport work, and all came up short of my expectations for the Heavyweight VE Calais-V.

I went to GSL and they were oh so helpful. They advised a set of A1RM and I subsequently fitted and have never looked back (I do run Castrol SRF fluid). The pads are awesome once bedded in.

They don't squeel, they are reasonably dust free, perform very well when cold and around town driving, but awesome on the track and twisties.

Plus the pads are reasonably cheap in comparison to some I have had on the car.

I will certainly be getting another set when these ones wear out.

HPX Brake Pads

QFM HPX Police Spec Pads in a VT Berlina!

By the way those pads I put on (front & rear) are bloody excellent. I already had another performance police spec pad, and apart from being dusty as all hell they stopped well. There is a definant improvement even on those!

Unfortunatly I didnt get to clean the wheels but I can see the fingerprints on the chrome are still there after a week. They dont seem to grind or squeal, and I think they have a better initial bite then as you increase pressure pull the old girl up smoothly and purposefully (if that makes sense). Brilliant stuff from pads that cost less than half the price, and are locally made.

Happy as a pig in sh$t. Infact hapy enough to buy a second set to have sit in the shed for next time!

QFM HPX fitted to Maloo with Corvette C5 Calipers!

Hi,

I just wanted to give you an update on the brakes and how they are going.

I finally got around to having the time to put the brakes on. I have nothing but good words and performance out of the brake pads so far. There were no problems whatsoever in replacing the old for the new. Straight in, reassemble and off I went. Brakes didn't even make a single squeal. Very strong stopping power off the front alone so far!

Thank you for helping me out with the right parts and the pads. I will definitely be using your business and products for my brakes from now on.

Cheers
Ben

HPX fitted to 300ZX Convertible!

I have been running the HPX on the front of the convertible for a couple of months now. I have not noticed any dust and the difference to whatever pads were there before is that they perform near 100% from the very first application!

HPX fitted to a Holden Astra!

I just got back from a trip down the coast N.S.W did a 1000kms on the QFM HPX pads with the slotted rotors supplied from GSL and have to say zero dust! The car needed a wash not the rims for a change. I felt it brakes better than the stock pads.
