the Brembo blanks to resist fade a lot better than the OEM rotors and in conjunction with the Hawk pads, ATE fluid and stainless lines you will have a rock solid set of brakes. fade shouldn't be an issue after unless you are doing serious track days with tons of successive laps.

if you are having a problem with rotors warping, upgrading your parts 9 times out of 10 will not fix your problem. the problem is not with the parts but how you drive. i have seen it litterally hundreds of times where 2 almost identical cars with the same brakes have 2 VERY different brake wear.
- car one seems to go through brakes every 5-10k rotors are very warped, blued and heat checked.
- car two comes in for brakes every 50-70k the rotors are in good shape without blue'ing or heat checks...
problem here is the driver of car one is abusing the hell out of his/her car and HE/SHE is the reason for the brake issue, not the parts.

just something else to consider.
