Steve,
I'll repeat the same measurement and also check the pad area. All I can say it that the change
does make a noticible difference (rode in today). I am still working through a slight ridge that the stock set-up left at the top of the rotor where the stock pads didn't touch, but that is mostly gone this morning!
I suspect that the different sized bores for the Nissin pistons makes a difference as well in the "feel" component of this change.
Let's see what my measurements say!

It could be though that Nissin pads have a greater pad area?
