For what it’s worth, I’ve installed the Ultra premium pads (front) on the old mans AUIII ute (along with DBA standard rotors). They have been fine thus far. No squeal, stops well and most importantly, no complaints from him!!! |

I hear what your saying. And I don't really know what the other ones are like standard driving. |

Like Day-mow, I use them with RDA slotted rotors and find them a great setup. GK

QFM HPX's FTW
![]() I will be looking at going the next model up myself, but cannot fault QFM's. Great bite they have.

I too have the same setup, and I haven't had any issues with them. But in saying that, the Bendix pads should be fine for normal non slotted rotors, not sure about slotted though... |

i was thinking about getting these but not sure what they are like, I had QFM A1RM in my XR8 and they were awesome but a bit useless when cold and I have cheapo superstop pads in my commodore and they are great and no dust but i'm after a good pad in my old commodore as its only got single piston calipers so want the best pad i can get but on a budget too

QFM HPX pads were great on my AU. Yes it took 2 corners for them to heat up, but after that they were excellent and quite affordable. The A1RM pads were a high performance track pad version, and took longer to heat up.

I did some research and it seems the Bendix Ultra Premium is just a rebadged General CT for Supercheap auto stores only
Ultra Premium refers to the ceramic content also found in GCT pads

as mentioned these are just rebadged GCTs and you can get these for $55 trade every day of the week, $75 is hardly a special. and the original special by the OP was 2 for 1

Id forget the GCT's. They are average at best. Stick with the QFM HPX pads. Much better bite for the same sort of coin.
