no practical benefit over a well maintained drum setup, but looks way better

Agreed^^ but dosent having rear discs cause rear locking under heavy braking in a nova?

only if you dont have the right compensator attached to the master cylinder

and nah i would stick to drums, to much hassle for not alot of gain imo

Yea true a well maintained drum setup is just as good IMO.

and even then, a stripped out nova will lock on the back..

i'd go for a wilwood adjustable one, the 3/25 and 3/20 we use overhere (cant remember what's the one for a full car and for a stripped car) still dont brake perfect... and a disk setup is heavyer lol

looks like ill stick with the drums but do like the look of the disk setup
