    Are there any 2 piece rear discs available. I installed calipers from a 94' 348 with 13'' wilwood rotors up front but was a lot of fabrication work. They are super but now I need more brake torque in rear. Anyone else playing this game?

    There are quite a few threads on this topic in the 308/328/Mondial section.
    www.************ (site sponsor) offers a front upgrade kit and offers a rear pad to increase rear braking. They also have some trick looking two piece rotors for the rear that will use your stock calipers. Lots of material in those threads on why it's difficult to upgrade the rear calipers.

    Norpower,

    Like Don said, go with Girodisc. Have them on my 308, which is also tracked quite often. They save unsprung weight, work great and Eric/Martin at Girodisc are great guys.

    BTW: Eric is the guy who originally designed the braking system for the 308 so rest assured he KNOWS the system quite well.

    Actually, of course, that would be "designed the Brembo upgrade for the 308"...

    There are options out there. I have larger rotors and calipers at all 4 corners, although I had to give up my park brake. I thought I would miss it, but thus far I haven't. Hope I never "need" it.. :)

    My calipers are Wilwood, and the rotors are Coleman. The system was designed by Concours Ferrari in California.

    I'm about to install my 25mm master cylinder, to help alleviate my slightly-longer brake pedal, along with a Tilton brake bias lever...

    Good luck,
    Greg

    LOL :)

    Paint? We don't need no stinkin' paint :) Yeah, it looks kinda feh yet the brakes function well and gave up on cosmetics like that a while back. She may not be pretty, but i'll stop with amazing grip and has very usable modulation.
