Front disc brakes were an option when the car came out in 1966
A disc brake kit is used to convert an older automobile's drum brakes to disc brakes. Your 2001 Gallant already has disc brakes. It would not require the disc conversion kit. When you begin to hear your brakes squeaking it is time to take your car to the repair shop for new brake pads.

disc brakes are usually used on the front of a car is because the braking ratio for any Car is 70 / 30 ........70 percent of the braking power goes to the front 30 percent goes to the back also if you had disc brakes on the rear of the Car and you slam on (emergency stop) the brakes would lock and you would slide all over the road
Depending on the car, some disc brakes are made of steel, aluminum or carbon fiber.

It is indeed possible, but it is going to be a lot of work. The engineers who designed the car felt that drum brakes would be best for the car, and it is wise to leave them as drum brakes instead of disc.
