nova brakes

[simonr1]

could someone tell me the brakes people use for there nova's ie upgraded ones, also what brakes do you use for a rear beam disc conversion?:thumb:

Just stick a set of Astra GSi calipers on GM 256mm discs and Mintex 1144 pads. As for the rears, I'm not sure what you use. A lot of XE'd cars I have seen (including a few track driven ones at Goodwwod) still keep the drums at the back though.

cheers chap, like the look of rear discs though haha

i had standard astra gsi disks and calipers on the rear of mine mate

and the front v6 vectra calipers on fiat coupe turbo disks

prefer drums on the rear though

[simonr1]

ok thanks, do the v6 ones just bolt on the front then?

[raymond]

gotta file to the holes down on the disk i found and use spiggot rings

a few people have other ways and means though matey
