PA is like Colorado not flat land but mountains. Tell me brake fad doesn't matter coming down a mountain pass of 10,000 ft.and drop 3 or 4,000 ft. that is twisty. Granted some folks live in the flat lands so it might be a issue for them. We have cut offs on some pass's that go uphill and is sand for run a ways when the brakes fail.
No argument on brake fade, but you're much better off improving the front brakes.
Only when those are no longer the limiting factor, improve the rear.
Especially in your scenario, coming down a mountain the front brakes will see even more heat because of the exaggerated weight transfer.
