Yes, that's what I'm running in the rear.

Front is 98-02 Camaro Capliers with brackets
00-05 Impala Rotors.

It's only been posted a few times in this thread, so hey, why not post it again

You can get everything from Rockauto.com. That's where I got mine

It's good to know about he Corvette rear set-up. Might change it out if the parts become hard to come by in the future.

You can use Corvette Calipers in the front, but it's hard to find a set that comes with the bracket. Camaro guys swap for Vetter calipers all the time. The Vette Caliper has 22% more clamping force

You can use GXP parts, but you don't have to....I put Alero rear disc brakes on my GA.

I was considering a brake upgrade, getting it piece by piece. I could get the parts for the F body conversion (front) from rockauto for around $250 or so. I could also get the F body front kit from MMS for like $300, which takes out all of the guessing. With rockauto, I could get parts individually, though, and not spend all of that at once.

As for the rears, just to be sure, the 05 GP GXP is the one with the 5.3 V8, correct? I'm not all that familiar with the GP. Edit: looked it up.

It seems the rotors are close as well, the parking brake shoe is the same p/n for the 99 GLS as the 05 GXP. However, the bolt pattern of the rotor is different. The GLS pattern is 5x4.65", but the GXP pattern is 5x4.53". Going metric, they are 118mm GLS, 114.98mm GXP. That being a difference of 3.02mm, which if you go by radius, is halved (I guess is what I'm trying to say). Meaning an overall difference of 1.51mm.

The question being, with this difference, are the rotors compatible or no?

That actually answered all of them, thanks.

If they're using GXP rotors on the GA, I can use them on the Alero.
Edit: looked up prices.

For the GXP rear upgrade, including brackets and pads as well as rotors, from rockauto for just under $300 including shipping.

I was looking at parts on rockauto, and it appears the bolt pattern for Camaro rear discs is the same for the Alero stock rear discs. They are also the same 12.01" as the GXP rear discs. The difference is in the size of the parking brake shoe. The 02 Camaro has a 190x22.5 shoe, the Alero and GXP have a 170x22.6 shoe.

Interesting, what about calipers/brackets? Any chance the Camaro calipers/brackets could be used with the GXP rotors? (Since I suspect it would be easier to source the Camaro parts.)

Next weekend I'm going to the junkyard to check it out. If the Camaro brackets and calipers will fit, we may be onto something.

I know the front ones will fit because that's what I have on my GA, but not sure about the rears. I also converted the rear from drum brakes to Alero disc brakes which work fine.

According to rockauto they're different part numbers. The 02 Camaro rear bracket is pn 14-1121.
For the 99 Alero it's 14-1155. That doesn't mean they won't fit, but I'll know for sure at the junkyard.

Or am I missing something?

The rotors are the correct size for the upgraded caliper.

The impala rotors are 1" bigger then factory, which works well with the fbody brakes. If you ran stock rotors only half of the brake pad would seat on the rotor.

So you are saying that the 2002 Impala rotors are 1" bigger than the 2002 Camaro rotors? If that is the case why do all the parts places list that the rotors for both vehicles are the same?

I understand that the factory Alero rotors are smaller...
