does it really matter?

No. All Camry platform brakes are single piston.
The first car in Toyota's line-up with two pistons is the Lexus IS 300.

Really? What about the Supra? I heard they're four pistons.

Really? I've always thought that the Celsior (LS400-430) had two pistons.

I just changed the brakes on my 97 avalon and the fronts at least are 2 piston

thats what i needed to know... 4cyl camry factory calipers and rotors are much smaller than the v6... hence cheap upgrade w/o going too far overboard.

and yes it does matter, otherwise i wouldn't have asked now would i???
