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.

Brembo do sell generic rebuild kits, just ask them.
when you say the piston is chipped, do you mean the ceramic puck that sits on top of the piston? If it’s that, you might have a harder time finding it - I could get everything but that part from a local brake shop.
You might also find 3rd party options for replacement pistons etc. I’ve seen them advertised before but didn’t save a link, sorry!

Non PCCB's.
Yes it is the ceramic puck that is chipped.
I see one company sells the pucks by themselves, has any one changed just the pucks and is it easy to do compared with changing the complete piston.
Thanks finding the info here is very helpful.

Check on the 991.1 GT3 / RS Forum. I seem to recall it's been done pretty often.

It’s really easy to change the pucks. They just pop out, along with the dust boots. Recommend putting in new dust boots at the same time, ideally the high temp after market ones. These guys sell them, though don’t have the kits listed at the moment. I’m sure you can message them to get both front and rear sets.
