Problem is that most MCs are not identical side to side. Even the Wilwood dual system designed for drag racing applications has different size fittings for the two outlets. I worry that if you were to run both calipers one side to one outlet, I'd always have more braking on one side than the other. Now there's a recipe for disaster...
