Re: You might be able to see.
Pull a tire and look through the caliper. You might be able to see the one or two pistons on the back side of the caliper without removing it. Worth a try if you can't find out! LATERS!

Re: 20v came with singles for sure, not sure if some had duals- rotors are dealer only
Some of the 20v sedans had the single piston, others had the dual piston.
Rotors are not dealer only for the G60 equipped sedan...PMC has them for $75.85.

Only 20v's came with dual piston...
and your sig doesn't make it look like you have a 20v. If your car came with 14" wheels stock then you would have the stock single piston setup without a doubt, the only models that came with 15" stock are the later 20v's, early 20v's had the single piston setup with the special rotor, thank god I rid myself of those, and as of yesterday the G60's

Well actually they did for a bit, the starter arrived very late in the day...
via Airborne Express, but it went into the car very quickly, fired it up and smiles ensued. Though once the brakes were on the bleeding procedure was a bit long winded, as always with this car. Last night I left the car with a poor feeling pedal, too much travel, most definitely not what I would want. Today I pressure bled the valve up front and gravity bled the rear calipers, pedal is firm and with very little travel, absolutely perfect for heel-toe practice, and the brakes feel great so far.
