Default of course

my point was that to improve braking distances for normal street use, upgrading pads and rotors is a cheap alternative to big brake kits.. Big brake kits 1) have more surface area for better stopping power 2) dissapated heat better, they are gonna stop better over AM pads and rotors, but not by much, unless you consistently brake (ie racing), then fading is much less noticeable. In the end, the tires, pads, rotors, calipers and the brake pump all contribute , its just a matter of getting a good balance of everything.
