Default Braking distances

Does anyone know the stopping distance between the 13 inch rotora BBK compared to the OEM brembo's. I am trying to decide if i should get the rotora front kit or look for somone selling all 4 oem brembo's. I think the price would be in the same ballpark around $1500. which would you choose and why?

The tires stop the car not the brakes, installing larger brakes will not improve stopping distance for the first stop at least.

Go here http://www.zeckhausen.com/Testing_Brakes.htm and scroll down to bottom of the page. You will note that the stopping distances are essentially the same, the brake temperatures for the smaller brakes are higher. Larger brakes only improve pedal feel and decrease brake fade for successive stops.

The tire limit is reached with the stock brakes.
