For $1200, you could buy a really nice upgrade kit instead of just a stock rebuild. I would sooner buy another car than pay that for the horrid stock brakes on these cars. In fact, I would suggest just that. Get a front drive beater that works for the winter with that money. Then, when it warms up, do the brakes on your car yourself and sell the beater for what you paid for it. Front drivers are better in snow anyways, and most will also be better on gas than the Malibu. Either that, or bring out a space heater next to the wheel you are working on to keep you warm. Take frequent breaks and do it one wheel at a time, starting up front first. Yes, it will be cold and very uncomfortable, but think of the money you will be saving. I once rebuilt a front suspension in the middle of a mild tropical storm because I needed to get to work and had no other way. I put a tarp over the fender down to my back, and let the rain pour down my *ss for a few hours until it was done. Not fun or pretty, but you do what you have to do to not spend money.
