ATE calipers aren't really junk, it's just that they lack the initial grabbing power of the Girling's bigger pads & pistons. Don't forget that you would also need custom hoses to convert to the 264's as they are metric & the 140 isn't. Probably would be easier to widen 140 Girling calipers.

It's also worth getting rid of the pressure limiting valves at the rear for a little bit more stopping power.
