how many pistons is stock front caliper
searched a bit and doesn't seem like we got a definite answer.
It appears the AV6'rs have a single piston, but are able to upgrade to a a dual compliments of an NSX or Legend.
I Can't imagine us only have 1 piston front calipers, but it wouldn't be the first time Acura suprised me.

it's true... i've found 3 people saying the stock CL caliper is a single piston...
I see no reason that we can't do the same upgrade that the AV6's are doing...
sounds like for $120 we can new dual piston Legend calipers.
The legend calipers also seem to be more desired since one of the piston's is larger then on NSX.

A TL caliper piston (assuming 45mm diameter) has a piston surface area of 1590 sq mm. The Legend caliper pistons have a TOTAL surface area of 2512 sq mm (40mm x 2) (158% more) and 2267 sq mm (38mm x 2) (143% more) while the NSX calipers have a TOTAL surface area of 2034 mm (36 mm X 2) (128% more).
