I am wondering the same thing, prolly the calaper, disk, maybe the spindle assy, would maybe want to swap the master cyl.. not too sure.. i want to do a rear disk swappy...
my buddy's dad has salvage rights... i may just try to get a 99+ alero or G/a with rear disks... and do the swap... among other things lol

yeah it depends on the year not the engine or model, i have a '01 GX and it has 4 disc abs... i saw this today that there are kits to convert from drums to disc this isnt for aleros but you get the idea...

You will probably need the proportioning valve from the rear disc brake car as well.
