Hello, well yes there is a huge range of pads out there for Starions, although its the best secret around, . Toyota Hilux has a pad nearly identical and fits perfectly. I fitted some QFM pads ( db1141 track day) in my Tarmac Rally Staz, does low 24's at Mallala all day with no brake issues. They are about $100 a set , thats 200 to 300 less than the exotics around. The only small issue, they miss about 3 mm on inner part of the rotor as they have a slightly different shape there , but for the money i can live with that. You can also buy them in Ultimate and other brands. Cheers Bill

The pads that should be used on the Starion (with standard brakes) are the DB291 (although they can be hard to get). The easier one to get is the DB1111, same pad profile only about 0.5mm thinner.

Go the db1141 as bill stated as you can get them in the 4wd compound which has a higher temp rating. Bill where do you get the ultimates from as bendix dont list them in ultimates.

ok sounds good, do you know what model Hilux they to suit?

rn90 model, 89 - 99, also the same as the cressida in 88-93. But just quote the bendix part number they can find it via that.

The 1141's in Ultimate appear to be no longer available, as the sales of the Heavy Duty 4x4 pad were more popular. The CWT was simalar. Honsestly use the QFM track day pads, they are ideal for harder street work or circuit sprints, tarmac rally. From them upwards QFM make 3 o 4 full on race compounds that wil satisfy any application

QFM's are awesome :)

I take it these are for teh smaller flat body brakes, any chance you have some reference to the larger widebody fronts

same pad, different caliper brackets :)

Cool, Where abouts can these QFM be purchased from? Repco? there doesn't appear to be much on QFM website

gslrallysport can post said pads for you

are we talking about fronts or rears here ? as im having trouble buying rears

Fronts for the db1141, as for rears you could ask gslrallysport if they can make the compound for the starion rear pads.

After a 6 week wait for qfm to make you can get these pads in a1rm which are rated 0 - 700 degrees with a co eff of 0.40 when cold and 0.48 when hot. Greg at gslrally have a few sets in stock so can send them straight away rather than wait for qfm to custom make them. Pads are $119 plus postage for a set.

Hi, just back onto the topic of pads I was looking on the net and found this, http://www.sorijen.com.au/product_info. ... s_id=11708

are these the QFM pads that you talk about, the compound names on here don’t seem to match other sites I have found on QFM, like they don't seem to list the a1rm or HP-X pad.
I was looking at possibly the K750 but the a1rm you speak of ricethief sounds good

They also list the db1111 http://www.sorijen.com.au/product_info. ... s_id=11620 are these pads more closely matched to the standard starion ones?
