Hello, just bought a 1972 Chevy Nova, it has drums in all 4 corners.

I was reading the article Chevy Nova Disc Brake Conversion - Beating The Drums (www.superchevy.com) and they mentioned they used 4.75" for the front and 5.75" for the rear in terms of backspacing.

I called CPP a few minutes ago, and he mentioned using the stock back spacing which is 3.5".  Even on their catalog they mention "Do not exceed a maximum of 3.5" of wheel back space with this drop kit."

So now I am more confused than before.  I also plan in doing a suspension upgrade with a 2" drop in the front and 1.5" in the rear.


Has anyone done this brake kit upgrade?
CPP Part # 6874FRBK-BB

What wheels to get then? 3.5 or what the article mentioned?
