Hi guys I have always been confused when ever car reviews said the brakes are 4 pistons or 6 pistons. What does it mean?

Brakes are pistons. So if you can imagine a hydraulic press, or an arm on an excavator... that's what squeezing the rotor and stopping your car. More pistons usually means more surface area, so more braking capacity. If you drive a small, light car, you will notice absolutely no difference unless you're doing time trials on a track.
