when you say 2 piston caliper you mean 1 piston per caliper right?
tls's have 1 piston per caliper
the upgrade kit has 2 pistons per caliper, in other words, 4 piston calipers

The number of pistons is calculated per wheel (there is one caliper per wheel). If the kit contains two, two piston calipers (ie. Front Left and Front Right) you still only have two piston calipers, not four.

I just asked my buddy about his S2000, and he's 99% sure they are single piston calipers. My RX-7 was a Nightmare becasue it was 4 pistons per caliper. Made it a little more difficult. Oh well.

The ones I have seen only use one brake line per wheel. The fluid is then routed to the individual pistons though fluid passages within the caliper body.

I guess it could vary by manufacturer. I can't picture a 4-piston caliper having 4 seperate brake lines, though.
