Pads for Holden Commodore VT-VZ rear.
Fits: Commodore VT/VX/VY/VZ standard rear caliper (DB1332 window).
What we’d fit.
Match the rear to the front rather than choosing it on its own. HC-EP works from cold, which suits a car that also sees the road.
Project Mu HC-EP
A street-plus-track compound, effectively HC+ tuned toward road use.

This is TrackTheory’s recommendation for the Holden Commodore VT-VZ rear, 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 VT-VZ rear 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 VT-VZ rear setup? Ask BuildBot or email us with your car, class and typical session length.
