All they'll really do is lighten your wallet. If they don't increase the
swept area, they're not appreciably changing your braking performance.
The way to go is the Toyota truck caliper swap that was pioneered
by John Lye and Lee Janssen. See

Combine with stainless/teflon lines for the best possible pedal feel -
you're going to have to do some plumbing adaptation anyway. You can
see

for some words of wisdom in that regard; Pegasus racing has
the parts you need and their catalog has the instructions for
putting the hoses together.
Enjoy.
