69 Camaro brake options

Do the aftermarket calipers release/drag less than the original units? I have good brakes, but have always fought the pads dragging a tag more than what I *thought* they should. Same with the rear...even with the adjusters backed all the way off, there seems like a touch of drag?? If I went 4 wheel discs, wouldn't I be fighting the dragging pads as with the fronts???

My Baer front disc brakes have hardly any drag. I read somewhere else around here about shimming the caliper one side or the other to center the rotor "perfectly".
My front wheel will rotate several times before stopping while on the jack stands....
