Looking into this kit for my 70 Nova and was just looking for some good or bad opinions about this kit. I wanna keep my steel wheels with dog dish centercaps, i doubt the 14's will fit though, im open to going to 15's though. Thanks

You will need 15s and yes this is a great option in a trick brake kit for you factory wheels, we sell tons of them.

We also have complete factory style disc brake conversion kits

That kinda sucks, my 14" tires are damn near brand new.

What would i run for a master cylinder if i go this route? I am keeping rear drums for now.

You could run a factory disc / drum master for a Camaro / Nova

Is there a 2'' drop spindle that will work with this kit?

We have a tall 2" drop spindle that works with that kit, $300

Wilwood has updated this kit with part number 140-10996. It fits in most 14" (disc brake) wheels. Having said that, it is recommended that you consult our wheel clearance diagrams that are in the Kit section of the Wilwood Website before purchasing any kit. I personally have our new iteration of this kit installed on a stock 57 Chevy spindle, using an aftermarket Tri-5 14" wheel. We also make a rear kit with an internal drum parking brake for the Tri-5 Chevy stock rear end. All of the aforementioned kits have 11.00" rotors.

Is there a similar kit with a 12 inch rotor? Something that will fit factory disk spindles?

Yes, Part Numbers 140-7675 and 140-10510. Contact one of our dealers that post on this Forum and they can give you all the iterations such as color, cross-drilled rotors, etc.
