The modulation is very much still present.

The weak link in modern cars braking ability is the tire, not the brakes themselves.
In fact, going to a larger BBK might actually hurt your stopping distances as the new, larger rotors are usually heavier (especially going from the non-brembo brakes to a large 14" kit) thus increasing rotational mass.

I have the AP Racing brakes from Stillen which I have had a few issues with. One is that the rear rotors sits outside of the brake dust cover which means my caliper sticks out a little further and in turn I need more offset and not so deep of a dish. The other problem I have is squealing of the brakes. I am going to change to a different brand of brake pads and see if that helps. Bottom line is if I had to do again I will go with stoptechs.
