Optional Police brakes ( pad replacement )

[Ross Wonderley]

police use to use akebono on the front & bendix on the rear of vt - vz not sure what they used in the ve vf !

For VF series 1, standard size(321mm) but T2 slotted rotors, standard PBR dual piston calipers and higher spec pads front only, rear brakes standard.

For VF series 2, larger 344mm discs with Mando single piston calipers and larger, higher spec pads, plus different master cylinder. Earlier in this thread there are some part numbers for the pads. Rear brakes standard.

That's my understanding. Certainly what I've described for Series 1 is what I found on mine.

Best thing about the Mando setup is that it fits inside 18" wheels where the Redline Brembo calipers don't.

I've changed mine and the pads are different. I researched and brought the pads in the states. Holden were charging $280.00 back then. The ones I got were bendix police pads, they cost $36.00US.
I'll try and find a pic of the pads for you.
