Its a common misconception that a BBK will stop your car in a shorter distance. Pad compound, pad surface area, tire contact patch, and tire compound are what denote the stopping distance of a car. Big brake kits, are mostly just more resistant to heat. So if you find a BBK that has more pad surface area then that might help, but adding wider and/or stickier front tires will do much much more for stopping distance than a BBK will. Same goes for adding a more agressive compound pad to your stock brakes. A BBK will just mean that you can make more repeated hard stops in a row, but if you're not going to track your car, spend your BBK money on pads and tires if you want a shorter stopping distance.
