We are basically building the front starting with some Caliper brackets and spindles I got as a kit. They use rotors from a Chevelle and the calipers from a 70 camaro.

The rear kit uses the "metric" GM calipers.

I will have to check on the pedal ratio, the Nova still has the stock pedal. It should have a pretty good ratio, it was a manual brake car originally
