Pull them apart, if they are SS sleeved just buy the kit. If not new calipers may be needed.

Make sure the sleeves have been installed correctly, straight,not blocking the holes in the bottom and have a good finish.
edit - also make sure there is no chrome at the bottom of the bore or any where else on the caliper

If you do have sleeved bores, and they are sleeved properly then it is cheaper to go with the O-Ring conversion kits than purchase a reman, and they are easier to install than the lip seals. We've been selling them for $39 per wheel (includes the pistons)
