Brakes
Buying new brake pads for my 2016 2ss camaro and can't figure out if I have 4 or 6 piston brembro calipers. I've looked at pictures and I think they are 4, I bought car used and don't have original dealership paperwork. Was 6 a option for the 2ss? I'm looking at power stop z23, my car is mostly daily driver so want less squeaks and low dust. Thanks

95% they are 4 piston but 6 was available I believe.
Look in your trunk under the floor, there should be a silver decal with all the RPO codes. These are the components installed on your car. The RPO for 4 piston Brembos is J6G. If you find that code you have the standard 4 piston version.

Having you check the window sticker / service parts label in the trunk is a good idea; plus, just in case the original owner upgraded the brakes after the purchase, you only have the 6 piston upgrade on the car if your front calipers and rotors look like this:

Yeah I looked at lots of pictures and of course the humps of the pistons are covered by the rim, but I was able to feel them and confirm only 2 humps, not 3. I'm calling autpzone tomorrow to see if they have in store, if not ordering online And then bringing to shop for install
