I noticed while changing my front suspension this afternnon that the front brake hoses need replacing too. I could just replace them with new standard parts but as the car is intended for some track use it'd make sense to fit braided hoses.

My question is, will a Nova specific kit fit a car with 256mm Cavalier front brakes as would I be right in saying the biggest brakes a Nova came with as standard was 236mm? Will the front hoses be long enough for the 256mm calipers or do I need to buy a non-Nova kit and if so which one?

Thanks,
Matt.

Just get your self a Nova kit, cheapest place is Rally Design. braided hose kit will probly work out cheaper than std rubber ones to.
