I wanted to know the diff. between the front calipers of the 91-92 Cpe and 93-95 Cpe.
I know that the rotors of the 93-95 Coupe are slightly thicker meaning the calipers were built different.
Do the front calipers of all the years (91-95) have dual pistons? I have a left front and rear calipers sitting in my garage pulled off a Legend Coupe. I just wanted to know the years for which they fit.
The rear calipers were the same for all the years so that is no problem.

Someone correct me if I am wrong but I believe all coupes from 93 on have dual piston and all LS and GS sedans in 94 and 95 do as well. I _KNOW_ in 91 sedans are single piston calipers :)

Close. All 93 L and LS Coupes have dual piston, but ONLY the GS Sedan has the dual piston as well. All L and LS Sedans have single piston calipers.

The caliper I have is a dual piston so I guess it is for the Type II Legends...
I am correct to assume:
Type I engine Legends have single piston Calipers on all wheels
Type II engine Legends have Dual Pistons on the front and single Pistons on the rear??

Yes, that is another way of looking at it. All the original TYPE II Legends (not hybrids :)) have the dual postin calipers. All the rear calipers are the same for all the G2 Legends though.
