Wow! now that's what I call a fast response! 
Are the pistons what presses the pads to the disk? is 2 pot really that bad on a scoob? or is unnecessary for some cars and needed for others?

Yup, the piston is the part forced forward by hydrolic preasure, in turn forcind the friction surfaces together. More pistons give a larger area for the hydrolic force to be applied to, therefore more preasure, more stopping power less milage out of front tyres...
less milage out of front tyres...

Thanks MP!
Can you tell by looking whether a car has 2/4/6 pots or not?
Got a Honda S2000, no idea how many pots the brakes have (stops very well though
