if the ABS can be activated during hard braking, adding bigger discs, changing pads etc will not give an improvement in braking power that can be transferred to the road. In this case, the braking force that can be applied to the road is limited by the grip of the tyre.

If the brakes are becoming too hot and 'feel' like they are not stopping the car then better brake cooling, bigger discs (to dissipate heat) and pads offering better resistance to fade might well be appropriate.

It is doubtful that the speeds and dynamics involved to do so would be realised on the road and are much more likely to be needed during extensive track driving.
