Has anyone looked into this?

i've been browsing HMA Service and noticed that they list our Brake calipers as 1 PISTON. Has anyone seen this in person ?

if it is a one piston brake caliper... why are the parts dudes(SR,Kspec,Etc) listing them as 2 piston? hmmmm

i think it's b/c webtech is for american hyundais.
USDM xg350s are 1 piston, KDM are 2 piston.
at least that's from what i can remember.....and it makes sense to me.

I just put rotors and pads on a 96 GL. It was a single piston caliper set up. Exactly what u showed in ur diagram.

Back at work, the Sonata is a single piston caliper[front] The local market Hyundais using the 2-pot calipers are Trajet and Santa Fe. I have not yet been able to strip the GK calipers[because when I left there were very few GKs sold]but I'll let you know when I go back to work.

just found out that the korean market 2.5 model comes with 1 piston and all others 3.0 and above have 2 piston calipers... along with the USM models.
