... 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 :)

i just had one or two more questions sorry if i buy the big brake kit all i really need is the disc hub or is there something else? How much did that cost the whole thing? it looks awesome like it was ment to be there from stock good work with the paint to.

... 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 :)
