Brand new ATE brake calipers? Actually new or rebuilt??

Thanks, that caliper looks good. No thick clear coat like the Volvo branded ones. Casting looks good compared to 850 LPT's pitted ones.

Problem is, the fronts don't include brackets. Neither do the Volvo brand ones from FCP. I hope the NAPA Adaptive One calipers still do but I don't think I've bought one (bought three rears though). So keep your brackets clean and free from rust. And if you see any in a junkyard, take them. They might become more scarce.

These are currently 10% off during the FCP sale this week. I'll be buying a set before my two seized rotors burn up Geronimo like abscate's 2nd picture.

I grabbed another set. I have three sets of 280mm brackets if anyone needs one/ them. All from 98 99 00 cars

They are actually on my parts shed, in a box labeled “ brake parts”

I agree with LPT, as I find it very hard to believe ATE cranked up the forge and cast new bodies 20 years after the last P80s left the nest.
The FCP listing doesn't appear to mention the 'new' thing.
