Larger brakes on a street car may actually be less efficient in braking. Brakes pads work better when they reach their operating temp. With a larger brake setup, your brakes may not be able to attain that temp (bigger rotors and pads takes longer to warm up), resulting in decrease in efficiency. For everyday driving with regular street pad compound, the issue is probably negligable. I wouldn't try to put race pads compound on the setup on the street though.
