If you're worried about overheating, start by changing your brake fluid to one with a higher boiling point. Valvoline Synthetic DOT3/4 is one of the best bang-for-the-buck fluids around, readily available and relatively cheap with a dry boiling point of 446*F and wet 311*F. Flush and replace every two years with fluid from a new, unopened container--brake fluid absorbs moisture over time and the boiling point steadily decreases, increasing the chances for experiencing brake fade.
