Question Opinions: How good are the 8-Pot Brembo brakes?

I need opinions on how good the 8-pot brembo brakes are. For the size of the caliper (~14in) and the size of the rotors (14.4 in), you would expect for them to throw you through the front windows with a 100ft or better 60-0 stopping distance .

Then why do the official specs list ~120ft 60-0 stopping distances and why does Stoptech offer a brake "upgrade" for this application.

Feedback?
