I don't drift so don't flame me if its 'drift-related'... I just don't see the car stopping that much better (if at all) with so much of it being front brakes anyway?
The second set of brake calipers are just for "handbraking".
If you seen any of the "pro" drift vehicles, they almost all run a 2nd brake caliper in the rear for independent handbrake control (with a dedicated handbrake lever).
This has nothing to do with overall brake performance.
