What I did was stop by my local Chevy dealer with my VIN and ask for a written quote for Brake rotors front and rear and brake pads front and back. Then left with the quote and cross referenced at local auto parts store.

Dammit. Your pic bait got me.

Last I heard, the PPV brake components are standard issue Tahoe/Yukon, etc. and it's the pads that are unique. Something about the friction material being anti-squeal (for covertness) and suitable for high-speed braking with good fade resistance.

There, you have an answer. That's gonna cost you pics and deets on that Nova, though.
No Kidding!!!!!!! Nova is my favorite car. You can keep all of the Camaro, Corvettes, Chevelle, Mustang, and anything from MoPar! I am really looking for a Nova as a project to do a LS swap.

the "oem" police pads are just semi-metallic pads, some good premium ceramics will last longer, make no noise, almost zero dust and stop you just as well.

I never understood why people put the same terrible PPV tires back on these, let alone the metallic brake pads and such. Get rid of all that crap, your kidneys/ears/carwash equipment/wallet will thank you. Get tires that are a comfortable ride, get brake pads that are quiet and low dust. Just my salty (yet dustless) $0.02.
I like sporty feel. I dont mind the ride at all.
