... no, you first have to convert the rear drums hubs to disc hubs ... this is easy to do as all you have to do is to swap the complete rear assemblies from a 99+ GAGT or Alero :) ... I did it to mine and it took only 4 hours from start to finish :)

... you should be able to pickup a complete set of hub assemblies including the calipers and emergency brakes cables for $200-$300 depending on where you look ... you then just have to make sure everything is in good working order and replace :)
