Q: Can better pads shorten my Plaid’s stopping distance?

Higher-friction pads raise the clamping force your factory calipers turn into stopping power, so they improve bite and stopping performance over worn or basic OEM pads. They do not add rotor size or caliper pistons, so the gain is meaningful but bounded by the stock hardware. For the biggest cut in stopping distance you move to a big brake kit, but as a pad upgrade this is a genuine step forward.
