Fits Holden COMMODORE VE (2006-2013)

Brake pad compound

Street: quiet, low-dust, strong cold bite for road driving. Sport: higher temperature range and more bite for fast road and occasional track. Racing: maximum fade resistance for sustained track use (noisier and dustier cold). Match the pad to how hard you actually brake.

Disc size

Caliper grade

Hollow is the standard caliper: a lighter hollow-body forged caliper with a dust cover and a 5-year warranty. Hollow Racing drops the dust cover for sustained high-temperature use (rated to 1000°C, 2-year warranty) — the track-grade choice.

Caliper colour

Painted colours are included. Polished-forged finishes are mirror-polished forged calipers (Titanium, Gold, Silver); candy colours are a deep, mirror-reflection paint. Both are premium upgrades — fuller detail further down the page.

Disc style

Drilled discs (cross-drilled holes) vent gas and water and look aggressive; slotted discs (surface grooves) wipe the pad face clean and resist fade under sustained hard use. Same price — choose on looks or how you drive.

Centre bell

The centre bell is the CNC-machined aluminium hat that joins the disc to the hub. Standard anodized is included; a two-tone bell adds an anodized accent ring in your choice of colour; titanium is the lightest, forged option.

Carbon-ceramic rotor

Carbon-ceramic rotors are a special-order track upgrade: far lighter than steel, fade-resistant at extreme temperatures and extremely long-lived. The price follows the disc size you choose above. The standard two-piece steel rotor is included.

XYZ Racing Hollow Front Brake Kit — Holden COMMODORE VE (2006-2013) — 330 mm
330 mm

The VE Commodore’s dynamic limit was never really set by the Zeta platform. It is a capable, exploitable chassis. The limit is heat. Running a 6.0-litre LS2 or, from the 2010 facelift, the 6.2-litre LS3 through a car that tips the scales at close to 1,800kg puts sustained, serious demands on the front braking system. On the road those demands are manageable. On a track day or a long mountain descent, the standard calipers start to communicate their dissatisfaction in the only way they know how, a lengthening pedal and a confidence level that drops in direct proportion.

The XYZ Racing front big brake kit addresses that shortfall at the corner where it matters most. Three pad compounds mean the same hardware can be configured for a daily driver, a fast-road weapon, or a car that spends weekends on circuit, without sourcing separate parts for each application.

What this brake kit does for your 2006-2013 Holden COMMODORE VE

Under hard deceleration, the VE’s front axle absorbs the greater share of braking load, the straightforward physics of slowing a long-bonneted, rear-driven car from speed. The hollow-vane disc reduces rotating unsprung mass at each front corner without giving up the thermal capacity the Commodore’s kerb weight demands from repeated stops. The Sport compound lifts heat resistance noticeably over original equipment while keeping the progressive feel that suits a car used daily. Racing exists for owners whose VE is primarily a track tool and needs a caliper that stays consistent deep into a session. Street remains the quiet, low-dust default for the road. Discs are offered drilled or slotted at the same price.

About the front big brake kit

Removing material from within the disc reduces rotating unsprung mass at the front axle while preserving the swept area and heat dissipation that a car of the Commodore’s weight requires. The kit ships as a matched pair of front calipers and discs. The caliper is a hollow-body design as standard, and an optional Hollow Racing upgrade, rated to 1000C, runs without a dust cover and carries a two-year warranty for cars in regular circuit use.

XYZ Racing offers three pad compounds at the point of specification, Street, Sport, and Racing, so the same hardware accommodates different use patterns without a full parts change. Included caliper colours are Red, Yellow, Gold, Black, and Anodized Black at no extra cost. A Custom Color in any Pantone is available for an added charge for builders working to a specific wheel or livery palette, with premium polished-forged finishes in Titanium, Polished Gold, and Polished Silver and a candy range in Teal, Blue, Red, and Orange above the painted set. Centre bell upgrades are offered in five anodized two-tone colours or titanium, selectable at checkout. The front fitment is engineered around the Commodore VE’s front upright architecture, not a universal bracket adapted down to fit.

Fitment for the Holden COMMODORE VE (2006-2013)

This kit covers the Holden Commodore VE across the full production span from launch in 2006 through to the end of the run in 2013, encompassing both Series I and Series II cars, and ships as a matched pair of front calipers and discs. The front brake upright design is consistent across the VE range, so the kit applies whether the car is a V6 SV6 or a V8 SS. Select pad compound, disc style, and caliper finish when you order to complete the specification for your use case.

Choosing your spec

Every kit is built to order around the choices you make above. Here is what each option actually changes, so you can spec yours with confidence.

Brake pads — Street, Sport or Racing

Every kit ships with a full set of high-performance pads; the compound is your call.

Street is the right default for fast-road driving — a strong, progressive cold bite with low noise, low dust and long disc life. Sport raises the working temperature and adds bite and fade resistance for hard road use and the occasional track day, while still behaving on a cold morning. Racing is a track compound built for sustained abuse: huge fade resistance and bite once heat is in it, at the cost of more noise and dust when cold. Match the pad to how hard you actually use the brakes — there is no benefit to a race pad that never gets up to temperature.

Caliper grade — Hollow vs Hollow Racing

Hollow is the standard caliper on every kit: a hollow-body forged caliper, lighter than a solid one, fitted with a dust cover and backed by a 5-year oil-leak warranty. For most fast-road and spirited track use it is all the caliper you need.

Hollow Racing is the track-grade upgrade. It runs the same hollow body but without a dust cover (so there is nothing to melt at sustained high temperature), uses a twin-metal piston that isolates heat travelling from the disc to the oil seal, and is rated to 1000°C. Available 286–380mm (front). Warranty is 2 years on oil leaks and 10 years on appearance. Built for professional racing and repeated track days.

Caliper colour & finish

Painted colours (Red, Yellow, Gold, Black, Anodized Black) are included at no cost. Want an exact match to your car? Custom Color (+£150) paints the calipers to any Pantone code you supply (15–20 day lead time).

Polished Forged finishes are the flagship: a forged caliper given a mirror-polished surface treatment that shifts colour with the viewing angle. Beyond the looks, the polished surface dissipates heat better, resists rust and stands up to the weather. Choose Titanium (neochrome, +£350), Polished Gold (+£300) or Polished Silver (+£250). They look their best paired with a titanium centre bell. Care: clean only with a dilute neutral cleaner or water.

Candy colours (+£200) use a deep candy-paint and polishing process for a mirror-reflection, boutique finish — pick Teal, Blue, Red or Orange (shown below right).

Centre bells

The centre bell is the CNC-machined aluminium hat that joins the disc to the hub. The standard anodized centre bell is included. The Two-tone bell (+£200) adds an anodized accent ring — choose Red, Yellow, Orange, Purple or Silver right here at checkout. The Titanium centre bell (+£500) is a forged titanium bell (bolts not included) that finishes off the polished-forged look.
