Not really. Chris - AP covered it pretty well. Braking is initially tire limited, as any modern car can exceed tire to road friction with rotor to pad friction. Tire is the weakest link. Once you take repeated stops into consideration then many other factors come into play, and that is where the quality after-market brakes show their strength in resisting fade, consistent pedal feel, and durability.
