Pads for PBR C4 'Corvette' front — HSV / Falcon AU (Saloon Cars).
Fits: PBR C4-Corvette-style twin-piston front — HSV, Ford Falcon AU, Corvette C4 (DB1353 window).
What we’d fit.
A Saloon Car is heavy and the front does nearly all the work. The DBA race compound is the straightforward starting point and we hold stock; H16-03 publishes higher friction across a wider window if you want more from the pedal.
DBA RP
DBA’s race pad: the same friction as XP but rated 350–630°C, and DBA state it is not for road use.

This is TrackTheory’s recommendation for the PBR C4 'Corvette' front — HSV / Falcon AU (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 PBR C4 'Corvette' front — HSV / Falcon AU (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.
