I personally like the a1rm's and I'm running them atm, not going to be your cup of tea if you dont like dust and noise but holy fark they work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After much running around trying to get a solution, a simple brisk drive and long cool down resolved the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feels like it revs faster after the caning I handed out.Curing brake squeal I'm happy about though. Guess it was the medium to hard braking but never stopping for 10-15 minutes at a time.Fingers crossed for you it's simply a resin issue as said. Different pads might remove it as they use different compounds?Remember in the QFM pads range the HPX are the mild street version and A1RM are harder on rotors and more track oriented (have only used HPX myself).

barnz Member 3,047 Member For: 11y 1d Gender: Male Location: Brisbane Posted 16/12/14 10:36 PM Share Posted 16/12/14 10:36 PM Imo the a1rm's aren't an ideal street pad, its more like a track pad that still has a decent coefficient from cold. Just a warning coz they are very good and the rave reviews are correct but honestly some guys will struggle to live with them day to day. I have found them quite noisy at times and the dust is brutal. I personally dont give a sh*t about either of those things though. Would love to try the t3 a1rm combo in some brembos, would be unreal. There are of course better pads around but not for 120 bucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I preferred Remsa's. I really hoping the pmu ns400's stop like Remsa's without the dust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
