One of my previous cars a subaru imprezza turbo used to get brake fade when i used to give it a boot full round the country roads of yorkshire and the brakes would heat up and just get a softish peddle with little bite from the standard brakes. So i thought i would invest in some performance pads. Well let me tell you they were twice the cost of normal pads, i think at the time they were £100 and they were ferredo DS2500. Well i was very sceptical about buying these as i didn't think for a second that these would be twice as good as original pads but how wrong i was!!
The bite you get from these pads is amazing and they don't fade away as my standard ones used to. However i never went on a track day so i can't tell you if they got fade round a track, but for every day to day they were the dogs danglys.
\But in saying all this our A500 has fantastic standard brakes although i haven't given it a right cane-ing yet so i will fully reserve judgement till then. Hope any of this helps.
