what was the ambient air temp/elevation/elevtation change? also, keep in mind the stock system is not designed to go from 115-0. also, what tires do you have, its possible they got overheated (hence over pressured) and lost some of their contact patch, resulting in less decelleration force.

You could try stainless steel brake lines

in his initial post he states that he has ss lines already, though they serve the purpose of increaseing brake feel and don't influnce fade at all, same with the brake cylinder bracket. his instance sounds like he was just asking too much from the stock system (or he already had some air in the fluid) and thus pads would probably be the best solution, though i have been quite happy with the stock system. of course, i don't try and stop from 115 either

if they do its negligible. the main purpose of the SS lines is to deflect less when you pressurize the brake fluid then the stock rubber ones. this produces more resistance when you apply force to the pedal, since the SS lines move less, thus allowing the fluid to reach higher pressures sooner. thus it improves the "feel" of the brake pedal, but has no real effect on performance of the brake system. it can also decrease the risk of brake line failure from a rock or something along those lines. to reduce fade, you have to either increase heat tolerances of the brake components or increase the heat disappation rate. mods along these lines are cross-drilled/slotted rotors, larger rotors, higher performance pads, more calipers, ducting, higher performance brake fluid, etc. also, if you brake hard alot or if you ever fade the brakes, even just a little, make sure to bleed the fluid.
