Default Rebuild Calipers?

Im doing the C5 upgrade on the front brakes and also replacing all the brake lines. I was wondering if I should rebuild the rear calipers (already bought the kit but dont know how much of a pain it is)?

The car has around 150k miles and I dont think the seals have been replaced in those rear calipers. I have to take them off anyways to replace the lines. Should I go for it or leave it alone?

Edit: Why dont I check where Im posting, this was supposed to go in Tech, please ignore this one, Ill repost
