Quite happy with the brakes.
I have driven Focus, Camry, Jeep Cherokee (4L with front disc, rear drums also), Toyota Corolla, Nissan Pulsar (Sunny here).
The brakes are not the most powerful I have tried which is a good thing. Forces you to form the habit of stopping early. My previous experiences is that cars with good brakes tend to end up skidding when the brakes bite (yes, even for cars with ABS).
So far for the Latio, I learned to brake early but for a few times, I applied full brakes and the car had no problems stopping on the dot.
There is one very important thing we have to remember.
Braking performance is not as simple as the brakes itself. You need tires that can retain the grip under those harsh braking, you need your suspension tuned to obtain the right response so that your tail don't skid and end up spinning, you will also have to change the ABS program so that it can cope with the upgraded brakes. So, upgrading our brakes may seem simple but if not done right, it will cause more harm than good when you really need it.
If speed and performance is an important issue, then drive a wrx. But how many wrx have we seen lately wrapped around trees?

Not saying you should not do it but saying that if you want to do it, make sure you know what you are doing.
