fade is based on your rotors ability to move heat and your pads ability to generate heat. If you're running it like a race car for half hour endurance breaking events then yeah.. bite said bullet and get cobra or even 4 piston brembo's. As you increase the capacity of your braking system with bigger rotors and more powerful calipers then you can decrease the aggressiveness of the pads to yeild about the same heat carrying capacity.

If you have trouble with fade with EBC yellow pads on stock rotors then you're pretty well screwed and you'll need to upgrade to cobra 2 piston or brembo 4 piston. Of course then you get to deal with finding the right pad and rotor combo for that setup.

I'd say try the EBC's first.
