No.  The front is a 'floating caliper' single piston design, and the rear
is the tried and true ATE double piston design.  The emergency brake on the
NG900, 9-3, and 9-5 is a tiny drum brake nestled inside the 'crown of the
hat' of the rear brake disc.

It is the emergency brake mechanism, operating through the front disc
caliper of the 99 and C900 through 1987, and the rear brake caliper for the
later C900 and 9000 models, which leads to the need to 'screw in' the piston.
