Normally referred to the 16v brakes, these are a brand of caliper found on the sportier more powerful Vauxhall's like the Cav/Astra SRi's GSi's, Calibra etc.

They are a big improvement over the Nova calipers. With a 256mm x 24mm ventilated disc (you can also get them in 256mm x 20mm found on the sporty 8valves).

hactually, you can get std 236*10mm ATE calipers too. I had some on my old 1.2 which had Delcos on to begin with.

ATE is just a caliper manufacturer as you can get ATE's on fords etc

**** yer, the old mk2 cavs had 236 ate's, which are supposed to be on the sport, according to the original advert...
im sure the v6 calipers are ate too....

[Lewis.]

Here's a question:

Did the cars which had ATE calipers fitted from factory, have ATE discs fitted from new? And are GM OE discs actually ATE branded?
