Whether or not calipers "match" is a function of piston diameter, not manufacturer, per se.

Tom - seems like I remember an earlier post which said one, Bendix or Ate, accepted a slightly thicker pad which would not fit in the other. Do not remember anything about piston diameters.

I totally agree. is there any way to know for sure what the piston diameter is? I mean I doubt anyone is pulling the piston and measuring it... keeping the brands the same on each "axle" is the best we can do... no?
