i am just trying to get some info and i wasn't sure where to post this. but since every is basically doing the neon swap i was wonder if i can modify how it holds the caliper i wanna use a 12" rear and i didn't want ssbc? or baer rear. any one have any info on this?
pick your rotor of choice, IMO buy a 12 inch baer rotor choose the caliper of your liking and design your own caliper braket to fit that
Just keep in mind...if you want to use a 12" rear, you should probably be using a 13" front in order to help preserve brake bias. As it is stock, the front brakes do most of the braking...and you want to keep it that way. I'm no engineer, but if the car is set up to have most of the braking power come from the front and then suddenly the rear is putting forth as much or more force to stop the car as the front is...well, the outcome might not be desirable...
Are you planning on fiting 12" or 13" brakes under your GTZ wheels?
If so, tell me if they fit, I have the same wheels.

is there any other company besides ssbc that had a rear disk brake kit for a 04 cavalier? they're nice but I'll be broke for a while getting the front and rear kits,

Yes and no.
It needs to be designed well, to place the caliper exactly where it is supposed to be in relation to the rotor, and you need to make sure the e-brake cable is attached properly, which in some cases requires a special bracket, or a modified one. Read John Beers G6 rears post, and the neon swap post, and you will start to get the idea of what's involved in a swap.
yeah i understand about the bracket already i'm going to be using some ones idea that they used on there beretta
