Default Akebono brake upgrade on a dd street only car...? Idk

Ive set aside some money intending for upgrading my brakes. But damn 2k for parts and install for a car that will never see the track or drag strip. It hurts. That 2k could go towards finishing paying off the car or something else but I've convinced myself on the brakes partially. Can I be wrong about a huge dd stopping advantage or is this a strictly aesthetic upgrade. I AM TIRED OF LOOKING AT MY CALIPERS AND UGLY ROTORS AS THEY HAVE BEEN CUT LIKE 3 times, but still, should I suck up the 2k and be happy I have a car and be happy with the stock brakes.....I know, so many factors but wanted to talk with people who may be in similar grey areas or who made the switch and have been very very happy with the upgrade both look and feel. Just not sure if it will be pure looks and aesthetics for my car or not. Thanks guys and gals
