Since the invention of the wheel I suppose. Static friction isn't just a good idea, it's the law.

If you can EXCEED the limits of adhesion than a stronger brake setup nets you ABOLUTELY NOTHING except being able to exceed the limits of adhesion more easily and being able to exceed the limits of adhesion if you increase that limit (ie better tires).
No, you can't exceed the limits of friction and stop any faster. But you can change the limit by changing the force applied to it.
