ATE are the manufacturer, I guess the discs come with calipers included in the price.

ATE calipers are what you have as standard on your S3

Westle is right. They are standard and are imprinted in the caliper. I went for the black diamond grooved discs on the front with ferrodo DS2500 pads and they are much much better than stock, especially when they warm.
