They're all a [censored]. Most are made by an offshore remanufacturing facility (would not be surprised if it was the same one) and the QC can be quite spotty. We've had some leaking ones, ones with poor threads, etc -- it's like 1 in 3 have issues. If possible, consider rebuilding your own.
OMIX-ADA
Have had good luck with these in the past.

if it were mine and i was going to keep it i would buy from NAPA or similar and keep warranty info. I buy parts online but usually hard parts not moving parts due to failures and not being able to return or exchange.
Make sure to completely flush all the old brake fluid out before putting the new ones on

Perhaps its the pads?
The same pads were on the previous set of calipers.

NAPA total eclipse is a great brand.
Whatever you buy, NEVER buy anything made by Cardone. In some cases, I have seen cars have a caliper failure after only 3 WEEKS of driving. AAP and Autozone often get Cardone products and write their names on them.

No wonder they are so cheap.
