What if?

Ya canna break the Laws of Physics laddie !!!!

Braking performance is to do with coefficients of friction, mass, inertia
and momentum. If the car is the same car, and the tires are the same
tires, all bigger brakes give you are a means to reach the point of
maximum braking (just before lockup) with less pedal effort.

There are some side benefits though... resistance to fade (better heat
dissipation), reduced fatigue on the driver, and stuff that looks cool
behind your wheels What you lose is the ease of modulating your
braking effort by increasing or decreasing pressure on the pedal. This
point is illustrated by the comment above. If your head is on the dash
at every set of traffic lights, then your brake setup is too fierce for
normal round town driving.

As with most things automotive, there is a trade off between what
works great on the track, and what works great on the road. Oh, and
one point often overlooked, is that brakes work better with a bit of
temperature in them. A brake setup that feels fairly ordinary when
used cold around town, can actually work damn well on a race track
when they get up to optimum working temperature.
