is it possible to get a rear disc brake kit for my base model without doing a hub swap?
**edit** nvm, but does anyone have any useful info for me? I'm seriously thinking of doing this for the spring, so my drums don't look wack with the new wheels I'll be putting in.

NO you don't have to do a hub swap, you just need to get in contact with Powell. He had one ready for me with 4x100 rears but I switched it up on him so Im sure they are available. It consists of brackets, bolts, lines, and redrilled rotors for reasonable price. I just want to switch to 5x114.3 for wheel choices
any brands I should stay away from?

Powell's kit switchs you to lsj rears. You need to find your own calipers, but i found mine on ebay for $25 for both

you'll still be slow cody! 
i got my fingers crossed that i get a nice job here soon and can make some moves this year and got some trick up my sleeve. the cobalt is paid off so that is staying as my slightly modded DD but i'm going back and forth on either a bike, a '06 GTO, a C5/C6 vette, or a brand new lifted 2500HD

then ill be in the market for a lifted dirtymax myself, and maybe a subie depending on funds.
