Default What do the pistons look like on yours?

ERAChas,
What does the contact surface look like on the pistons where they contact the pads? Mine are pretty thin on the Sierra calipers like less than 1/16" and not full circle. I'm sure this is for cooling but it would seem to me after a while they might cut right through those shims. I'd be interested to hear if you pulled your pads now what the shims look like.

Good luck,

Chuck
