I cant think of a Nova in particular with them fitted to be honest. Most people use Wilwoods.

Also, ive read that Brembo is a well overated brand.

The Fiat coupe came with Brembos I think, they should be a good size to fit a Nova.

Hi!

Mine were a kit I bought 2nd hand although "as new-ish"! for Vauxhalls, don't think they're still available though! Not seen them on anyother car iirc.

The calipars will need brackets making up. As the calipar has a simple bolt paten, you get a bracket made up to fit that to the car.

Then you needs discs to fix/match.

I duno what the PCD is for Fiat wheels but I think I remember reading that a Meriva disk is the same diameter and thickness (or close enough) so can be used with the Fiat Brembo.

Subaru Imprezas use 4 pot Brembos so there are loads of them about. Again I dont know about Subaru PCD's so you'll probably have to look at disks from a Vauxhall.


This is all from memory so may not be accurate.

Female mate of mine is using Type RA Brembo calipers on a Ka Turbo but she claims they were an easy fit :S

Meriva disc;s mentioned are the 280mm dia ones IIRC? Why not just use the complete Meriva brake setup anyway?? There cheap on eBay ATM.

PCD of fiat is 4x98, and I think the Brembo calipers on those use larger (305mm??) discs than the Meriva-ish sized ones
