I think the tire is really what helps you stop faster. That and you manage the weight to the front and rear.
Correct; which is why most folks *should* upgrade their tires first, right MrFatBooty?
However, try driving your car (w/sticky rubber) with the stock pads versus some Hawks HP+ on a road course, and I'm sure you'll notice a difference (however small) in initial bite and stopping power.
