I can recommend QFM A1RM, they performed heaps better than bendix ultimates in my 06

Yeah I have been through two sets of them. First set was good.

Second set, ran them for about 500Km's and had to pull them out as they squeeled absolutely ridiculously loud. Dunno what was wrong with them, bedded them in and all that shit.

Couldn't daily with them as they were just savage. Might have been a dud set, or they were sent or boxed mistakenly and were in fact the full race pad.

Different pads and fluid for next time though one way or the other.

Pretty sure the fluid is what fucked me as even today my pedal doesn't feel right, much squishier than usual. Still strange as I had Motul RBF600 fluid, DBA5000's, Brembo's etc. Half decent setup i thought.

That RAC track is pretty hard on brakes though, you don't really get an opportunity to let them cool other than the back straight, and then it's hard on them at 160-170 again.
