Rear disks from an early Astra/Kadett GTE/Gsi 16v (non-ABS) then you can either drill the Nova mount to accept the new hub, or cut and weld a new plate onto the Nova beam..

Its quite easy and looks cool.

On the same subject, can you buy wilwood rear calipers for the astras that will fit the rear novas?
