This. If the car is just a DD, good pads, lines and fluids will be fine. Big brakes don't help much in a one-time panic stop. Base brakes can lock up the wheels just fine. One time panic stops are a test of tires at that point. Big brakes are for repeated hard braking like on a track.

If your reason is that "Big brakes look awesome", carry on. That is 100% correct.
