That explains a lot.  They aren't refered to as "Slag Masters" for
nothing you know.  Real 'stock' OEM pads would probably be better.
As someone else pointed out - fade after one 100 mph stop tends to
indicate something is wrong.  Wouldn't want to go driving down
any mountain passes if they are that bad...
