Well...I'm not sure what cured mine to be honest as I did several mods at the same time. FWIW the piston didn't look like it was the culprit but its ~$50 and easy enough to replace if you follow the leader on this job...Skidoo's excellent DIY thread on same.
So back to what I changed: I installed the new piston/plunger, installed the Stoptech BBK (front only...still running my NAPA rear calipers without issue) which has its own calipers. I, after this work bled the system like I always have done but just for grins took it to our dealership for the full SST bleed out (first time for taking to the dealer for bleeding of the brake system). FWIW I couldn't tell any difference pre/post dealer bleed out. So the problem I had was either at the piston-plunger level or the front calipers. The front calipers were not frozen when I removed them BTW.
So...I suggest you install the new piston-plunger and do a good bleed out. If the problem still persists I'd focus on the front calipers.
