One problem with measuring pistons is where you are actually measuring. You can't just take a caliper to the exposed face of the "piston" underneath the pad. Oftentimes the actual piston diameter is different (within the actual bore) than what you see up top/exposed. Best way to measure is to actually remove the piston from the caliper. Especially if you are trying to accurately calculate brake bias.
