Please help me to decide the best way to go.
I want to buy a brake kit for my 70 4 door Nova.
I was thinking on the Kore3 325mm C5/C6 kit but this Wilwood Challenge series might be a good choice as well.
This Nova will be my daily driver but hopefully will see a few track days.

It's hard to beat Kore3 from a customer perspective.

I just bought the Challenge Series from Matts Classic Bowties. $995 + $60 for a hose kit is pretty tough to beat.

Kore3 for me. C6 front and rear with parking break (which works BTW). Plus the encyclopedia brake knowledge from Tobin is worth every single cent spent at Kore3

I have no experience with Willwood, but I can say Tobin and Kore 3 are great to work with. One thing you may have to consider is how easy you can find replacement pads, since it doesn't appear you are in the states. Even with me being in the US, I chose the GM product because I can go in any auto parts store and find parts.

I am with Csouth and several others. I have asked Tobin several questions over the years and he gets back to me quickly. He also is an active participant on the forum here handing out free advice regularly. I also like the fact that I will be able to pick up parts at the local parts store. The reality these days is that you can get just about anything overnight, but you will pay a premium. Not sure what the replacement stuff costs with Wilwood, but you may want to look into the cost of consumables.
