You'll improve the brakes by fitting bigger disks on the standard caliper, if the standard calipers can warp standard size disks its not the calipers that aren't up to the job.

Heat warps discs not calipers, 4 pots would be better as can absorb more heat and have more even pressure area.
The single piston calipers bind, this is why the pad wear is not the same on each side of the disc, so some effort is used merely to overcome the friction this creates, even alloy bells help massively, cast does not transfer heat anywhere near as well as alloy does.
