On the ctsv the small piston is at the opposite end of the caliper to the fluid transfer pipe, which must face down. So because the caliper is forward of the axel line this works - pipe is at the bottom and the small piston is first in line for the rotor rotation. Now look at moving this caliper back on the camaro and in keeping the fluid transfer pipe at the bottom all of a sudden the small piston is now at the top of the equation and second in line to the bigger piston.
So when you compare a left and right caliper side by side they're mirrored, bleeders and transfer pipe at opposite ends, and the pistons are mirrored. So this is why I believe the pistons could be easily swapped because the caliper bodies are the same part number from left to right.

On most Brembo calipers, the line and the bleeder can be interchanged... just swap the line for the bleeder and put the caliper on the other side.
