I have a 99 Buick Riviera I'm about to take to the scrap yard. Just wanted to check and see if the front brakes or spindles will work on a cavalier. The car has brand new brakes on it with some pretty massive calipers and rotors (compared to a J-body).

Post up some pics if you can. I'm sure the spindles won't work, but the calipers and rotors are most likely useable on the N spindles.

the calipers should be the same as the Grand prix ones they will work for the NWF swap minus the F part the basic difference is the W body caliper is a large single piston instead of the F body dual piston

^^^ also, the single piston calipers for some reason have larger bolts for caliper to spindle. IIRC, they are 14mm, and the F & N use 12mm. Simply fixed by drilling out the holes in the spindle.

Thanks for the info guys, Ill get some pics of them up tomorrow.
