Been answered loads of times if you use the search, but simple is

Use nova long cable to the passenger side caliper.
Use mk2 cavalier estate short cable to drivers side.

This uses the standard nova setup. Some beams are modded to use astra gte/gsi cables but its not worth the hassle imo

i take it you mean you want the caliper to hold on the brake rather than the shoes inside the disc?

You will need a mechanical type caliper. Rally Design were developing one last year, don't know if its available yet.

Any reason why?
