Default Brake calipers

Hello, I have a 71 that needed 4 new calipers I wasn’t sure who’s caliper to use so I finally decided to purchase calipers at corvette America which sells rebuilt Lonestar calipers . After installing the calipers which were on my car for about three weeks and the car was never driven it was only backed out of my garage a couple of times. I noticed my two front calipers were leaking . After going back-and-forth with corvette America they finally sent me two new front calipers. Has anybody had any issues with Lonestar calipers in the past .
Thank you and have a nice day.

Can you provide a little more detail? Where were they leaking from? Pistons? caliper halves? brake line connection?
