Pads for Holden Commodore VB-VS front (Saloon Cars).
Fits: Commodore VB-VS front caliper (DB1085 window).
What we’d fit.
HC+ is the all-rounder here — usable from ambient and published to 800°C, so it survives a sprint without needing a warm-up lap. PCR09 is the stronger trackday pad but has a 300°C floor, which makes it the wrong choice if the car drives to the circuit.
Project Mu HC+
The street-and-track all-rounder: usable from cold and rated to 800°C, which is why it suits sprints with no warm-up lap.

Project Mu’s Club Racer. A strong trackday pad, but with a 300°C floor it is the range’s worst choice for a cold first lap.

This is TrackTheory’s recommendation for the Holden Commodore VB-VS front (Saloon Cars), not manufacturer advice — a starting point based on the published figures below and what we stock, not a survey of what other competitors run. Car weight, driving style and how long your sessions are all move the answer, so tell us yours and we’ll give you a straighter one.
Same shape. Very different pads.
Every compound below bolts into the same Holden Commodore VB-VS front (Saloon Cars) caliper. What separates them is operating temperature and friction — a sprint pad that needs heat in it will feel wooden on a cold first lap, and a road-biased pad will fade before the end of a long race. Figures are the manufacturers’ own published data.

Figures are the manufacturers’ own published data for each compound. Where a brand doesn’t publish a figure we say so rather than estimate it. From cold is our reading of each manufacturer’s published minimum operating temperature, not a separate rating they publish. Manufacturers test on their own equipment, so friction numbers are best compared within a brand rather than across brands. Not sure which suits your Holden Commodore VB-VS front (Saloon Cars) setup? Ask BuildBot or email us with your car, class and typical session length.

Project Mu compounds (5).
One shape, every part number.
These part numbers all share the Holden Commodore VB-VS front (Saloon Cars) backing plate. The suffix is the compound (and plate thickness where the shape comes in more than one) — ask us or BuildBot which compound suits your discipline.
