Are they better than standard?

What are they worth?

The pad number is correct!

I have heard they are a decent pad though very dusty, slight squeal when cold and harsher on rotors than some other pads

One of the harshest pads you can use. Good, but FMD they chew through steel like a fat kid on a cupcake!

Bendix have a new pad out called Street, Road, Track or something like that. Interesting to see if is more rotor friendly than the Ultimates.

Ultimates are a great balance between heat resistance and cold bite.

They are not that harsh on rotors, but like any decent pads will give you plenty of dust. But, hey waht's the issue here - decent brakes or asthetics?

QFM are ok but you pay peanuts - expect monkeys and what price do you put on your brakes?

The only QFM product I would recommend are the RaceBrakes RB74 which are serious pads. Extremely high temp ratd, fade free, a little harsh on the rotors but capable of sustaining repeated deeeeep braking and $160 a pair for front pads (Premium Brake size). Match these to DBA 4000 slotted rotors and braided lines and you have a very good package.
