COMMODORE SS brakes remain unchanged in VY specification, despite the increase in performance, and in fact have not changed since the VT surfaced in 1997.

That means twin-piston finned callipers up front working on ventilated discs and single-piston callipers gripping solid rear rotors at the rear.

ABS is standard, of course, and while Commodore's braking system incorporates a load-sensing brake pressure proportioning valve, Falcon goes one better with standard electronic brake-force distribution.

Unlike SS, XR models offer a Premium brake package as optional equipment, while standard BA Falcon brake discs are much larger to start with as well.
