Front brake caliper rebuild.

I am rebuilding my front calipers (non S 2000 model) on my boxster and ordered the 36mm 40mm kit as everything I have found here and online says that is the piston diameter for each caliper. My Dad currently has my calipers and is rebuilding them but says that the larger diameter dust shields and seals do not fit and that it appears all the pistons are the same size (36mm?). I do not have the calipers in front of me at the moment to verify but he has been successful using the smaller parts from the kit to rebuild at least 3 of the 4 pistons in the first caliper. Is something off here or are there calipers with 4 36mm pistons in each one?
