I'd have to guess yes, because the caliper uses a smaller single piston. Not sure how much less though, may be negligible for every day driving. May be more apparent in a panic stop though.

let me take some pictures of it this weekend. i had to take so much off, i even had to take the caliper boots off a little. i never really noticed a difference in stopping power. my biggest problem was getting vacuum(sp?) with my largish cam. you can keep your brackets. they bolt directly to your OEM brackets.
