There are options.
There aren't good options.
Sure there are...

cheap options.

The Ferrari 308 used the same type of caliper in the rear that our 914 does. The piston size is different, though, so it will change the bias on your brake system. Guess how much those cost, with the Prancing Horse label attached? (Hint: The F-car guys used to buy the $$$$ 914-6 calipers and use them as cheap replacements...)
We actually used to get the Ferrari calipers cheaper until all of the Ferrari bone-yards caught on.
The Ferrari calipers have the bleeder on the wrong side. That will require custom machining to add an additional bleeder ala the late model 914 calipers. $$$$
With the change in the bias, you should have 48mm pistons up front. This will give you a factory 1.6:1 bias ratio. 911 caliper$ ba$ically. Dont want to have 911 calipers up front? You'll be rear bias heavy now and can spin in a panic stop.

You can put front brake calipers on the back with a little creativity. This will also change the brake balance, and will leave you with no parking brake at all. Line locks can help restore parking brake function, but they tend to let go at random and leave your car (which you parked at the top of a hill) at the bottom of the hill halfway through someone's door.
Putting larger brakes in the back is a good way to have the car swap ends when you push the middle pedal hard. Exciting, but in all the wrong ways.
Yup...
