I second tjmr2's statements regarding the better investment. No sense dumping a huge amount of money into brakes when they lock up just fine! Better gains will be found in suspension, and hydraulic efficiency.
Also tgidavid made a good point about using pads to adjust the brake bias. It works great, and I know many a racer who will put pads with a much higher coefficient in the rear to try and balance it out, however, I don't suggest this for a street car.
Since the pads will behave differently at varying temperatures, it's tough to predict how the car might respond in a daily driving scenario, especially considering things like rain, or even one wheel going through a puddle. If the rear pads don't have good cold initial bite, it can increase the distance required to stop, and you find yourself planted in that car than ran a red. If you're decelerating from a high rate of speed, you may have enough room for the pads to come up to temp, and suddenly your rear brakes really dig in. You may find the back of your car trying to race you through a corner. Racing is different. The pads usualy maintain a somewhat consistently high temp, and behave more consistently.
