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.
