Brakes on the 4G TL

Anyone know what type of brakes is used on the $G TL? Are they are 4 piston Brembo brakes?
I like my 3G M/T with the 4 piston Brembo brakes.

From Acura's media room site:

4-WHEEL DISC BRAKES WITH EBD AND BRAKE ASSIST

The 2009 TL has 4-wheel disc brakes with Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD) and Brake Assist. While the previous TL used single-piston front brake calipers, the new TL employs dual-piston calipers in front with single-piston calipers handling braking duties in back. The calipers squeeze radially vented cast-iron front rotors and solid cast-iron rear rotors. The front rotors measure 12.6 inches in diameter (an increase of 0.8 inch over the previous TL) and the rear rotors measure 13.1 inches in diameter (an increase of 2.0 inches compared to the previous-generation TL). The new brakes generate a 21-percent increase in front brake pad contact area and 22-percent more brake-pad contact area in the rear.

if the brakes don't seem well enough in any honda/acura, call up rotora and see if they can make a custom kit for you.

I'm looking into if the RL's 1 piece front brake caliper will bolt up to the 4g TL.
