What's the actual symptom?? Brakes dragging? Do they free up if you crack the bleeder? If so, something in the system is holding residual pressure. Either brake hoses, or a poorly fitted master/booster or a faulty ABS system.
+1, I tore apart the calipers on both my 944's, 7 out of 8 were in great shape, the one that had minor surface rust on the piston, had a pinched off brake line going to it.

Have you actually checked that the calipers you are taking off are bad? What does bleeding do? Are you losing brake fluid?
