Brake fading due to overheating is a very real problem and is well documented. F1 cars recently started using Carbon Carbon brake rotors which don't require as much cooling. Unless you have tens of thousands of dollars to spend on a custom set for your street car your not going to get a set. Its pretty much the same story for semi trucks.
