Where to start

What we’d fit.

The VB-VS rear is a lightly-loaded axle in most set-ups. W3 works from cold and is the sensible default; only step up if the front has moved a long way and the balance needs it.

Start here

WinmaX W3

0–650°Cµ 0.34–0.37

WinmaX call this their most versatile pad: sportive street through to sprint racing. It is the W-series compound we stock most of.

Step up to

WinmaX W6.5

50–800°Cµ 0.47–0.50

The standout for sprints and hillclimbs: close to 0.5 friction from a 50°C floor, so it bites on lap one. WinmaX call it their best rally pad.

Move to WinmaX W6.5 when you're running a serious race compound on the front.

This is TrackTheory’s recommendation for the Holden Commodore VB-VS rear (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.

Compound comparison

Same shape. Very different pads.

Every compound below bolts into the same Holden Commodore VB-VS rear (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 rear (Saloon Cars) setup?

Cross-reference

One shape, every part number.

These part numbers all share the Holden Commodore VB-VS rear (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.
