Qfm K500's - Squealing?


Recommended Posts

Does anyone else's QFM K500 squeal ALOT? Mine are REALLY shitting me off. As soon as they warm up they squeal real bad... its getting rediculous! How long do brake pads last? I'm going to try wear em out quickly with some hard driving/hills or I'll just chuck em in the bin where they belong :D:P:down::ermm:

That sounds just like my RB74 pads and they are made by QFM for Race Brakes.

I tried everything to stop them squealing but it made no difference.

Race brakes recommended I swap them for Elig pads but I thought I'd get some wear out of them first.

The problem is the rotors seem to be wearing faster than the pads.

Yeah it should be bedded correctly and with new rotors too - both less than 5000km easy and about 1 year old, car hasnt moved much. I'll probably get the brake pads out and get some anti-squealing stuff on it when I can bother getting around to doing it see if that'll work... I know of one other with the same pads and it squeals for them too - wonder if its happening to anyone else from that SAU group buy?

I have QFM K750's which used to squeal a lot.

I went to bed them in and they only squeal on very light braking on rare occasion.

You can bed them in your self, or go to a brake specialist and tell them about the problem.

They should be able to minimize the squeal :P

    • Reason I say this is I have seen broken ones, in drift, drag and even behind a stock Z. I do appreciate most of the time its the synchro's that go.   Trouble with quoting HP is it doesn't really say how strong the box is.  I've not seen many CD00X box's make it past a mid 9(150mph) I have seen about a stock R33 RB25 box's run a 9 too, they all go boom at some point though.   Another clue is they make gearsets for CD00X box's too, wouldn't be a market if they didn't break or have a limit people are going past.   I totally agree it is a strong box, just have to weigh up the true total cost of the conversion vs rebuilding with a good gearset. 
    • What makes you say CD009 boxes are not as strong as you would think? I've always been told the last revision (CD00A) is good for 1000whp and I have no issue's believing it when comparing one side by side with an RB25 box. Makes them look tiny. 
    • I picked up an open Center with shafts. I was told the Open shafts will fit a mechanical LSD and looking at them. I think they will work. Will update 
    • The manual says a lot about the different ratios requiring different shafts. all the Centers are the same but depending on the ratio, this determines the shafts because different ratios need the center to be offset more or less or right to left.
    • those 2 sets of shafts will not interchange and if you’re lucky you haven’t damaged anything with all your pressing and bashing you said you’ve done
