jamesinc The pads I'm running are QFM A1RM. They are pretty good for dust, much better than OE pads. Bear in mind on that photo I used the flash which exaggerated how dirty the wheel looks.
sucksqueezebangblow I had QFM HPX on the falcon and they were very good, the A1RM are meant to be even better. Do they need much heat to work ok?
Chris I haven't had issues going longer than a week between washes but wouldn't go more than a few weeks depending on use. On the other hand the 'one careful owner' of my V50 clearly didn't mind going months...
Ex850R As a housemate once said when I was washing my car, I asked him if he is doing his, his reply was that they put paint on cars to keep the dirt off the bare metal...
jamesinc The bonnet's clearcoat just lifted off. Like, the ENTIRE bonnet. It was a sight to behold. I guess the "looks like a cheap respray" was indeed a cheap respray.

cubic25 I love a meaty looking sidewall! What's with the rear offset and camber? Looks like it has positive camber. Could just be camera angle.

jamesinc My baby purred through 1700km round trip to Warwick and came in at an 8.9L/100km average over the entire trip. Very happy.

Spac How do you find the A1RM pads when they're stone cold? We're happy with them in the race car, and am wondering about fitting them to a couple of the road cars.
AshDVS The QFM A1RM is a good fit between the Project Mu NS400 and the Project Mu HC800. Better than the NS400 when hot and has a broader heat range, but not as good as the HC800 when really hot. At the same time, they're fairly low dust. A1RM has a fairly good friction coefficient when cold, though the HP-X does have better cold/first bite. A1RM are a very good performance pad option for their price point. We can do an OzVolvo discount on QFM HP-X and A1RM if you like too.
