Optional Police brakes ( pad replacement )

[Carcool]

Hi All, Got my SSV with the optional police brake upgrade but no aftermarket pad manufacture lists or knows what pads fit these brakes. Has anybody changed their pads yet with aftermarket ones ? , love to get some QFM ones but without pulling the old pads out and either measuring / tracing them they dont know if they have any.

Thanks Mark

Aren't they the same pad as standard brakes ?
The discs are bigger but brake pads should be the same ?

Not sure if they are the same pads as the standard ones , the calipers are definatly different so I assume the pads are different ?

They will be different pads ( standard caliper are twin piston , upgrade are large single piston).
They will be off a GM vehicle probably from the US.
Once you find what car the calipers are from you should be able to get performance pads from the US.

What diameter are the rotors ?

$350 gets you a 60mm single piston front caliper, 345x30mm ventilated front disc, low metallic pads plus upgraded master cylinder. (Std fitment on V8's is Twin 42mm piston caliper, 321x30mm ventilated disc and non asbestos organic pads). The rears are the same.

^^ This one, the US export model Caprice. My catalogues don't list it, but I'm sure you would be able to get them through Holden. Or take the old pads in to a shop and see if they are the same as the standard ones.
