FWIW, better tires will stop you faster.

I used to lock up the tires on my S4 N/A single piston setup qutie a bit at the track if I was getting jumpy on the brake pedal. With good compound, slightly wider tires, the brakes were able to work much more to slow the car down...

Another thing to keep in mind if you're planning on going ahead with the BBK, is the size ratio of master cylinder to caliper piston bore. You'll want to retain the same ratio as stock to keep the pedal feel and not make it spongey, or drastically increase the effort.
