Stopping distance is entirely dictated by your tires. You can run the craziest brakes in the world, and it won't do jack for you if you have stock Primacy tires.
This is why there's so much emphasis on the tire compounds, sticker rubber get you more in return (in the form of better/shorter braking distance). Same with aero, downforce = better traction = better braking.
As for sway bar: I have not installed my Whiteline on the car yet, and frankly (after today's sessions at Big Willow) I have zero need for sway bars at this point. The car handles great right now, adding sway bars will just make the suspension a bit too sharp for my driving style at the track.
In the end, sway bars will not make a big enough difference to be measurable on the track. Both sway bars + brakes will be impacted by how much/little traction you have... hence the "free" mod.
