4 Piston Calipers

I'm sure this topic has been done before but I baught a used set of 4 piston calipers and they all move freely, should I rebuild them just in case or is that only ever done when they seize?

If they all move freely, especially the bottom pistons, as installed on car, I wouldn't rebuild them. You'll also be "flushing" the old fluid out when you bleed them. Just pump a few extra times.

well they are off the car, and you don't need to be using them yet. that's the best time to rebuild something. it's relatively easy to rebuild the 4 pot calipers too, and costs about 25 bucks for 2.
