Well, I got my hands on an 04 Alero rear suspension for my J-car IRS swap... but the Corvette brakes that I have on the J-car won't swap over easily... hub is a different size, so I'd need to make a new bracket.

Are there any rear big brake conversions for the Alero? I want 12" or 13"... to match the front :)

Bigger rear brakes are completely unnecessary...unless you're going for pure show. They add weight to the car, subtract weight from your wallet, and possibly cause you to lose control when the rear brakes lock up. Keep the stockers but use SS lines and Hawk HPS pads.
