It's been stated on this forum, I believe by HGW, that the larger rotors and pads don't do a thing for stopping distance initially. However, they do help in preventing brake fade over time because they stay cooler. In turn, this will make the aftermarket brakes work better over consistant and repeated hard braking.

If you're not nailing your brakes like Earnhardt Jr at Martinville, then you probably don't need them. Even if you have larger aftermarket wheels.
