brake help?
Alright guys, i was wondering if anyone might have some pictures to compare the stock 2 piston caliper, to the single piston caliper...i was told that my spindle is broke and i need to replace it...i looked at my car and i think i have a dual piston caliper...but i don't have the 1LE RPO code (sorry if i messed up the code...you guys know what i mean lol)...and i'm finding it quite hard to find a dual piston caliper spindle lol...so, i am wondering if you guys can help me prove that i am an idiot for thinkin i have dual piston calpiers, or confirm that i am screwed lol

it's really easy. look at the caliper. is there one big round thing? (aka piston) or two smaller round things? how did you break the spindle anyhow?

Single piston spindle will look like the entire spindle pictured.
The 1LE (PBR 2-piston caliper) spindle will look more like the portion after cutaway in picture below.
