I think the only reasons to upgrade brakes are A) looks, or B) if you auto-x etc
Saying that a car needs better brakes because it has more hp is not good logic, a car is going to stop just as fast if you have 100hp or if you have 1000 hp, your 60-0 will not change. So if your stock brakes were good when you were stock, then they are just as good now, no matter how much power you have (assuming your going just as fast when your stopping)
and as spike said, your can only stop as fast as traction permits, i dont care if you have brembo brakes 10piston calipers whole nine yards, if your running bald 195's in the front your not going to stop nearly as fast as a guy with stock brakes and 245's. better tires > better brakes
It was mentioned that a cobra upgrade kit might be the diffrent between rearending that truck or not, but being an aware and responcable driver is far more important than good brakes. Nothing can replace being a good driver and being aware of your surroundings.
oh and big brakes will make you go slower (more weight = SLOWSTANG)
