Bendix to ATE conversion...... OK

Looking at brake renovation, and putting a plan together.

Is a conversion from Bendix to ATE calipers OK, and can they be replaced in pairs, or all 4 at once. Any experience out there?????

I DID MINE LAST YEAR, MY FRONT CALIPER WAS BAD. IT WAS BENDIX ON IT AND I SWITCH IT TO ATE IN PAIR. SO FAR SO GOOD AFTER 20,000 MILES...

Pairs are OK - upgraded myself from 123 to 126 vented rotors/calipers + ABS hubs and arms

These Bendix 126 calipers went 120kms
The backs are ATE 123 size

Time to do something; may upgrade again- 4 piston calipers

For every bodies benefit; Caliper rebuild needs to occur when using a set of vice gripes to retract the caliper pistons; where one does not retract or retracts with difficulty
