VK Commodore Brake Issues

Disc rotors - All disc rotors have a minimum recommended thickness. As the brake rotor wears it becomes thinner and the recommended minimum thickness indicates when the brake rotor should be thrown away. This thickness is crucial for optimum braking, and many disc rotors are marked with their recommended thickness. Genuine rotors are useable down to 21mm, where as some aftermarket rotors can be used down to 20mm. If the rotor is used beyond this point, braking efficiency is greatly reduced.

Hand brake - Commodores fitted with disc rear brakes use the internal area of the disc as a brake drum for the park brake. Incorrect or inadequate adjustment of the handbrake shoes and cable will result in poor handbrake operation.
