GM felt that larger brakes would cause problems with loss of steering during panic stops. Notice the large brakes and ABS were installed at the same time? If you want to disable ABS remove the ABS fuses. Just make sure you know how the car will react if you hit the brakes hard.

I've got some Dodge daytona rear disc parts and a set of Lumina calipers that I hope to use for a rear disc converison.

for front & rear disc upgrades, please see http://www.turboz24.com
not sure how much of the site is functional right now as it's being rebuilt a bit...
...but the brakes are definitely functional, and pretty good looking as well.

Give me another month or so and you can see all the pics of my Bonneville front setup (using J bearing to keep the 5x100 pattern), and Neon rear setup. I still have some machining to do, but its almost all together.
