Firing up RockAuto's web site as I type this - but I've seen some Aleros labeled "2000" and "2001" with drum brakes in the yard. Then again, I didn't cross check the VIN plate - and I've seen TurboCoupes labeled "1996" (hint: Last year for the TurboCoupe was 1988).

You're right, they do. I sit corrected.

I'll add that I didn't have to change hoses out when I did the disc conversion to my 2000 Malibu - I just had to make sure the hoses went down and then back up so that they didn't rub on the rim.
