But thanks for the advice and the websites for the parts... even without sending the old calipers back to RockAuto and extra shipping to the Netherlands it's way more cheaper to buy them in the USA
do not believe you have to send them back...no core charge

I have replaced both my front calipers with remanufactured calipers no problem. They are cheap over here around 40 dollars . Both of my front stuck on and over heated after the first brake job .
They tell me the piston is composite and absorbs water as it goes out , after new pads are installed the piston tends to stick and not back off . The whole wheel gets very hot and dangerous . Never tried to rebuild one .
