Question Brakes Pads QFM A1RM $110ish ->>Ferodo DS2500

Quote:
hey
could anyone please recomend decent feroda pads for round 80 to about the 150 dollar mark and bit of feed back on how u have gone with em.

cheers romeo
After everyone gave Romeo a bit of a bagging in the last post, I did a bit of a search around.

SPECIFICATIONS : QFM K750
Formulation - Cold Friction - High Friction - Temperature (C)

A1RM - 0.40 - 0.48 - 0-780

Now with Ferodos rated at a high coefficient of friction of 0.50 up to Temps of 500 degrees c, these look like a resonable buy.

Ferodo DS2500 $260-340

QFM K750 A1RM $110-150

By all reports the A1RM's are far superior to the Bendix Ultimates, Lucas and EBC Red's at around the same price range.

Sounds like good band for the buck. I believe they may also have A1RM pads for STI's Brembo's as well through GSL Rallysport.

Cheaper still are the QFM HPX pads at around $60, similar performance to Ultimates and Lucas, but with less dust.

Specs on QFM HPX or K500 as they are also known:

Cold friction Co-efficient 0.41
Hot friction Co-efficient 0.42
Temperature range 0-500 Deg C

*** I do not runs these pads personally ***
Nor have any affiliation with the company.
