The only time I've experienced brake fade on a public road was while bedding new pads in my old Ram. 5200 lb truck, and it took nearly 40 "panic" stops in a row from 45+ mph for the brakes to lose it. If you are truly concerned about brake fade from closing off the face of the wheel, I have to wonder what you're using the car for and how you are driving it.
