VE Holden Commodore Ute
Are these the same as Brembo? I'm just a wee bit too far to inspect in person and Holden's do not exist here, so I gotta ask.

I've seen pics on a VE and they are marked "HSV". On a VF, I see "Brembo". Are they the same just labelled differently? I've got a line on "Brembo's" off a 2010 Camaro and wondering if they are the same as HSV's....

HSV's use AP Racing brakes, similar to Brembo, but not actually the same.
Although AP is now owned by Brembo.

The first 2 pics were taken sometime in Jan/Feb of this year (2022), this is when I was doing the front brakes...

The car has been sitting on stands since then & I've just done the rear's (rotors & calipers) only last week.

Yes I know I've been lazy, please excuse the rust on the rotors, it's only superficial.

Yes, the front bar, guards & side skirts are missing too, just waiting (again) to finish off the E1 HSV parts in the Phantom Black 690F.
The car is getting a FULL HSV body kit (rear bar & all)

I can definitely agree to that.

I've since purchased them 2 Tonne aluminium low profile jacks, the standard one is horrific.
