just got done replacing the rotors and pads on my YJ. boy do those old
1988 AMC single piston calipers look sad... Even after the new pads and
rotors the brakes are still soft (I need to bleed them properly with a
second person which I plan on tomorrow) The master is fairly recent.

Question: has anyone here upgraded to dual piston calipers? Was it worth
the expense (for aftermarket performance calipers)? or is there a nice
salvage yard caliper swap that will work?

 

I don't see an advantage:

you went whole hog and used the sixties Mustang four piston, then there
would be huge hub modifications moving the rim out for clearance, and
then only if were racing the Baja 1000.
