ive got quite a few 147 GTA rear calipers at work and after driving the 147 GTA the rear handbrake is SO much better than the coupe's.

i need to find a rear disc's that are 4 stud and 276mm to see if it can work.

i put a caliper on and it fits onto the coupe easily, just need the disc's to make this work!

any idea's??

some ferrari discs have holes all over the shop,i dont think it degrades the strength much.

I think Sparco got 3g to re-drill the the 330mm alfa discs to 4 stud.

Correct Begbie!!

After thinking bit more I'm going to try some thing that I'm not to sure if it will work...

As the GTA calipers fit the rear and will have a bigger pad surface....

If I was to fit them with the GTA pads on a standard coupe disc..

What do you think may happen???
I haven't had time to measure GTA pad face vs coupe disc face to see how much pad contact there will be..

Wose case. I could use a smaller pad if possible....
or just re-drill a set of discs....
