i have seen on here that alot of people are puting cav breaks on the front of a nova
how hard is it to do this and where can i get hold of them or a kit to put on
also
ive heard that you can change the back brakes so there a disk style brak insted of a drum
is this true and how would i be able to do it
cheers

the cav brakes will fit no problem
best bet is the 2.0 16v ATE calipers
they use 256mmX24mm discs, make sure u have min of 14" rims as they wont fit on anything else
looking at 40 quid for a set of 16v brakes
they will fit straight on and no "kit" is required m8
hope this helps

yes it is possible to change the rear drum brakes for disks, i think you have to use an astra rear beam so you can fit the disks not sure though.
am sure u weld the hubs on
but also courtney i think do a conversion kit
