I was hard on the brakes today, they felt faded out when I got home. I was flogging them pretty hard in a 5 minute window. Upgrades!
Sounds like you have it to where a more aggressive pad is all you need. The typical parts store pads all tend to fade somewhat once heated up. If you get to a higher grade of pad (harder)the stopping is better once heated but sometimes suffers when not being driven aggressively.
