    Driving technique could help, too. If you are having problems with brake heat/fade, go down the hill 5-10 mile per hour slower than you climbed it. Drop a gear to one lower than you went up it. Pick a safe speed for going down hill, when you reach it, hit brakes to slow to 5-10 mph slower then safe speed, then release and let them cool. Repeat as necessary, don't ride them. If you already know this, disregard, if not, give it a try, it will help, even if you upgrade your brakes, they will work even better.

    Again get a bigger overall system than gimicky pad upgrades. I did the upgrade on my 2 Gen it was night and day over the stock size while towing
