After talking to my mechanic he said to inspect and clean off the slides under the pads. Also to get the brake fluid replaced and bled properly, any water in the line will compromise the pistons. You can use brake grease on the pistons if they feel rough (shouldn't) and make sure the slides are clean without rust. You should be able to spin the tire while it is on the jack for at least one revolution.

PS Mechanic also agreed that rotor rust is normal.
