- VE Omega sedan 3.0 2010
I got my 3.0 VE at auction. It is an ex-Police sedan. I've done 11,000 km since buying the car, and have no complaints about the brakes.
The Police mechanic uses "Bendix Ultimate" brake pads, and selected these because of heat disspation and performance in extreme braking. I agree that they are important considerations, however ...
these pads throw a lot of near-black brake-dust, which makes the alloy rims look really crappy. when I replace the pads, I'm wondering if there is a pad out there that -
not too much dust;
not too expensive;
and most importantly, provides good braking.
I understand that issues like this are always a compromise, so I'll put the question this way -
what are you using, and are you happy with it ?
