Caliper Pistons

Caliper Pistons
I have a 2010 997.2 TT and while replacing the front wheel Brake Pads I noticed that 2 of the Pistons in the Calipers were chipped with small pieces missing from them. (should have taken pictures).
I would like to replace the pistons but having a hard time locating them. The front Caliper has 6 pistons and are of 3 different sizes.
Rock Auto has rear pistons but not front ones and the rears are all one size which of course do not fit the front.
The Caliper is made by Brembo but they do not list parts only replacement units at an absorbent price.
I found an other company that sells pistons but they are not listed by type fitment. I would need to know the dimension of each piston and style in order to purchase from them if indeed they had the proper ones.
To do this would require removing each piston and measuring unless there is a number on them. I am reluctant to do this at the present time but may be an option this winter when the car is stored.
An other option is to contact Brembo but was told by my local Porsche dealer they do not sell parts for there Calipers.
My question is does any one know where I can purchase the pistons.

Mine did the same thing. I replaced them with the RB rebuild kit. https://racingbrake.com contact them for the right kit. Not cheap but they are cheaper and better than the OEM parts.

You need 34mm pistons. Centric makes replacements for you at a fraction of the cost.

Ohio Performance.
Thanks for the reply.
Front Caliper Pistons are not all the same size. Either 2 are the same as per Petza914 picture or all 3 are different size.
Will have to take another look.

Yep! Your fronts will be 28/32/38mm and your rears are 34/34mm.
There are a couple of companies (I believe demon speed in Ohio) that also make replacement pucs for your calipers. Those ceramic ones are great but are notorious for chipping.

Just responded to a 2009 997 turbo owner clarifying the piston sizes between Turbo and Turbo S with pccb
https://images.racingbrake.com/calip...nt-caliper.PNG
Note the different RB caliper P/N assignment:
BP-605 (Red iron) & BP-606 (pccb):
Piston sizes: 28/32/38x32mm
Caliper legs: Asymmetrical (one high, one low) like the one in this thread.
Caliper mounting spread: 142mm
BP-607 is for Turbo S
Piston sizes: 28/32/36x32mm
Caliper legs; Symmetrical (legs are the same height)
Caliper mounting spread: 225mm
Our sourcing matrix eliminates the trouble & mistake in dealing with VIN#, OE caliper/casting numbers etc. Precision fitment & durable performance has made us #1 choice of Porsche and other motorsports enthusiasts.
All components are in stock - Ready to ship.

I've called and e-mailed RacingBrake numerous times trying to find the correct parts to buy from them. They have never responded. If you call, the message indicates that they don't/won't answer the phone and to use their e-mail/contact form to get a response. Still no luck..
I've even google mapped their location and called the business next door to them to see if they are still in business, supposedly they are. Maybe they will see this and get in touch.
I can't figure out how to PM them thru here or I would do that too.
