they don't give you better stopping power. they give you more power to lock up your wheels.
if you can lock up your wheels with stock brakes, you aren't gaining anything except resistance to fade and less leg effort to lock.
listen to g6civic.
don't get slots. waste of cash. tires first... then blanks & good pads, and a thorough flush/bleed. you aren't going to experience brake fade on the street (unless you're driving like an idiot). if you are going racing on the track, buy some race pads with high temperature rating and swap em out for the event.
if you run a few events and find you are fading, then you should consider going with bigger brakes.
