      What's your goal for your build? What size wheels do you intend to run? If you already have wheels, what are they? Is your Nova currently a drum/drum car or disc/drum? If drum/drum, you can reuse your front hubs with several kits that are available and not with others. Also, what are you plan with respect to the suspension? Obviously, any changes to the spindles and/or rear axle can impact brake choices.

      You've got plenty of good options to choose between but I'm biased towards the Corvette based kits since they give the best bang-for-the-buck in my opinion. OE brakes are going to be the least expensive and perform fine for a street car...anything bigger is going to cost more.

      There's plenty of people running C5/C6 stuff on their rides here and your Nova has the same brake options as the 67-69 F-bodies and 68-74 X-bodies. Do a little reading in the disc brake forum and you're sure to find more information than you'll probably know what to do with.
