I just got home and went to their website and thats how it is there as well...you have to choose either 2 or 4 piston.
Take it from someone who has seen the 1 (and only) piston front, and rear, on his 05 non-brembo, with his naked eyes.
Are you inputting "350z TRACK" or "35th anniversary edition" ? This might explain the 4-pot 2-pot thing.

One of the main reasons I went to a BBK was for control and pedal feel. With 4 opposing pistons you foot gets to feel exactly what the pistons are doing and control the modulation between the pads and discs.
On a sliding caliper a lot of the feel is distorted from the caliper moving and flexing around.
