Exactly zero feet.

The weakest link is the tire, so upgrading any other component cannot decrease stopping distance while the grip level of the tire remains constant. As long as the brakes are strong enough to lock up the tire (which they obviously are) this will always be true. The benefits of carbon ceramic brakes are their incredible resistance to heat and fade and their light weight which improves performance (a little) and ride comfort (quite a bit).
