That is my experience too, and 90 percent of the potential improvement comes from the brake pads. If you install dedicated racing pads, the brake behaviour is night and day compared to a regular car. They will perhaps squeal, cost a lot of money and damage the paint on the wheels, but the friction and resistance to fading is very impressive.
