16v brakes off an astra GTE, cav sri etc will bolt on

or, the biggest with 15 inch rims will be v6 brakes, which can be bought ready bolt onto a Nova from lmf vauxhall etc

Yep.

The V6 brakes can indeedily be bought as a kit from LMF - ?215 iirc? Or you can buy the calipers & pads, and either redrill the 288mm V6 discs, or fit Fiat Coupe Turbo discs (288mm x 22mm) which come ready in 4 stud. Those will require the holes drilling out slightly though as the PCD is 4x98 instead of 4x100.
