Our Story
We weren't always HFM.Parts; we were Holford Motors. Our brand's identity was forged not in an office, but on the local circuits in the high-stress world of competitive drifting. Our ultimate testbed was our Nissan S14 Drift car, driven by champion Luke Fink. Pushing that car to its limits exposed a crucial truth: achieving genuine, repeatable performance meant relying on components that simply weren't available affordably on the market.
The HFM.Parts brand was born
We made the commitment to design and manufacture the uncompromising, high-quality performance parts that we, as competitive racers, demanded ourselves. Every component you see is a solution conceived, tested, and proven by us. When you choose HFM.Parts, you are investing in components engineered by racers, for racers, ensuring your vehicle delivers its maximum performance potential.
HFM.Parts x Winmax

That’s why we’re now stocking Winmax brake pads—reputable, high-performance pads that fit seamlessly with our own rotor range. Whether you drive on the street, the track, or both, you’ll find these brake pads deliver dependable stopping power without breaking the bank.
Why Winmax?
WinmaX have been manufacturing brake parts since founding in 1960, and since 1984 have been manufacturing and selling Japan’s first sports pads. As an aftermarket parts manufacturer, WinmaX was one of the first aftermarket parts manufacturers to introduce a full-size dyno and also noise dyno testing machine. Research and development of brake parts takes place constantly in the factory in Japan and in addition to friction materials, WinmaX also design and develop molds and manufacturing equipment for manufacturing brake pads and brake shoes in-house.
We believe quality performance parts should be within reach of every enthusiast. Winmax brake pads align with that philosophy by combining consistent friction, smooth pedal feel, and long-term reliability—all at a fair price.
