I share daily driving duties between 2 cars, an 88 M3 and a 63 SS Nova. The Nova was bone stock for a long time, however it came time to rebuild the front end....... Well that turned into "why not change it to 5 lug" that of course turned into "it needs disc brakes on the front" which turned into "disc brakes all around". After doing a little measuring and research I found that the popular 1st gen camaro brake swap would work on the Nova (LS1 fronts and 93-97 rears). They seem to work VERY well from the little driving I have done.
Anyway, I need to align it and then I can give a better evaluation of the brakes. I still have a few things to figure out and the V8 also needs to be dropped in, but I was excited to have it on the ground again.

One of the first ProTouring cars I saw was a '63 Nova. I've always thought they were cool as hell. Yours is no exception. Those things could be some lil a** whippers if you set 'em up right!
