Did the Dual piston caliper upgrade..

I put on the Legend dual piston calipers today, and it went real smooth. I was worried about bleeding the system and air bubbles and all that but no problem with that either. I did use a Mity Vac hand operated vacuum bleeder tool so I could do the job by myself. I never had to touch the pads or rotors as the new calipers just slid right on. I didn't take any pics.
Out on the streets and freeways I would say it doesn't stop much sooner or take less foot pressure, it's just a good feeling of more control. Put another way, i feel like I went from a little less than adequate to adequate. Yeah I wish it stopped like an M3, but it's better. I'm glad I did it.
