you SHOULD have 4-piston calipers. GXL we're the top of the line trim level short of being a tuboII

4 in front, one in back. It's in the FAQ.

i couldn't find it in the FAQ, i don't think it's there
ctrl+f yields nothing about "calipers", and only 2 instances of "4 piston", both unrelated

Well, I have an 86 GXL as well and it has 4-pistons in front and one in back. So did the 87 GXL and Turbo II. I can't remember if the S4 'verts did as well, but I have seen some at the junkyard with them hence my confusion. And you are right, it was not in the faq.
