Rusty,
Rear brake allways drags a little(non-floating disk, push/pull caliper). I would pull the caliper, clean and lube the slides and pins with copper grease. Inspect the pad retainer pins, if grooved real bad, replace with stainless pins. Front brakes may just need to be re-bled as long as all the pistons are free and clean. Alcon/Tokiko six pots do stop better, but as long as the stock 4 pots are working I wouldn't spend the money 'cause they work just fine(I can lift the real wheel with my stockers, no prob).
Hope this helps.
