Both Zzyzx and Roy are correct. The larger rotor CAN decrease stopping distances and increase braking performance(pedal feel and effort). But it still comes down to the car can only stop at a rate that the tires will allow with out skidding.

Then you could have bought the AEM big rotor upgrade for the rear, but the brake division is now owned by Power Slot rotors and they want like twice what the rotors are actually worth retail, so imo not worth it, unless you got money to burn, better off with OEM rear rotors if you do the conversion.
