Doesnt Lee run 16v brakes?

^^^^Lee doesnt need brakes lol

Yawn........ To be expected though.............

This has to be in the top 10 of the best Nova's ever built, along with Jon Shields previous Nova, A16 VTB.

utter rubbish, ran my 300bhp nova turbo with 256mm brakes, just need to fit decent pads and disc's, never suffered brake fade once even braking hard from 150mph

Have to 2nd that, ran mine with tarox discs and ferodo fast road pads, never had a problem and I abuse my brakes! :D

I tried a few disk pad combo's, worst ever was ebc green stuff pads!lol , had massive fade coming into a roundabout down from about 120mph (on my private estate), the 16v set up imo along with the v6 set up is ok on a standard 16v nova, but once you try a decent 4 pot set up you would never look back!
I find most people that defend the 16v set up are the people that have never forked out for a decent brake set up beforelol (not saying this is the case here before any one starts throwing abuse!)
