I would call Lonestar. I used them about two years ago. No issues.

Could just be revamping the website.

When I called Lonestar in 2020 I was told they are wholesale only and directed me to Muskegon Brake as a retail vendor.

One caliper was sent back three times for leaks (DOT 3), each time from a different piston ! I had to send it to Muskegon (Jeff IIRC) who sent it to TX and Lonestar would send it directly back to me.

Since Corvette calipers are done with O-ring seals (not available for 2.125 Chevelle bores) I wouldn't anticipate problems. - Bill W

Thanks Lynn,

Like I said I used them for 15 years or so through Robin Winnan @ Harmony Corvettes recommendation and never had a problem. The web sight now sends you to:
https://www.fullthrottlecorvette.com...fg_30-0-1.html.
Has anyone used these Guys. Looks like the Lone Star company merged with Full Throttle Corvette. I remember reading the founder at Lone Star died a few years ago? I just don't
want to play the "Leaky Caliper Game", I've been down that road and it is not pretty with cores going back and forth. Muskegon wants $199.00 each plus a core of $99.00 each. Full Throttle shows $119.00 for an "o" ring sealed caliper with a $95.00 core each.
Any input would be appreciated.

Bill
