    You can not buy new stainless refubrish parts for ATE ones, though they are unlikely to be required. They las well. Girling can be upgraded with bracket for 280mm disks or even maybe (!) A6 bracket for 312mm disc. Not sure about ATEs.
    Did not have troubles with any of them, but as for me, both of them are small and boring.

      The car is also small and boring
      One stainless guide pin is bent on the ate calipers. Cant source a new one localy. Part nr. 251615219A and cancelled since 01.12.2010
      So i'm gonna use the girling ones.

      Original 251615219A looks like this



      And some sites says 251615219 will fit and its missing the thin part, maybe it is not important then.
