I bought some R33 GTS front calipers from an importer, stand deal stuff really.

You think they're good to go? or should I rebuild them?

I'm betting the R33 GTS front caliper internals are identical to the 300ZXTT front calipers (similar size/shape, same pads, same rotors)

WRX's pads are interchangeable with 300zx pads, at least the one version of calipers are interchangeable, so you might want to look into that.
