I strongly suggest checking out the RockAuto site.
​Much better prices and more familiar name brands.

Plus Rock is pretty good about what is allowed on their site, at the end of the day.

I am trying to avoid shipping costs for sending the cores which is required for all remanufactured calipers. USPS quoted me approx $70 for shipping based on weight.
My plan is to rebuild my OEM calipers so I will have to eat the core charges.
Welshent and PartsGeek quoted $50 core charge per caliper.

Do it the old-fashioned way and just go to your local NAPA parts store.
They can get you one and you can return the core to the store. No shipping involved.

Thank you. I will check out my local NAPA store. However, I am still curious about the DriveStar Calipers

Probably a rebuild shop that is trying to unload the calipers off the shelf and they are not interested in rebuilding another set hence no core charge.
