The upgrade pads & rotors may have moved the problem from the brakes to the hoses & fluid. If you do a lot of hard braking, the stock hoses swell some & the brake fluid used is prone to boiling in the caliper which adds to the feeling of brake fade. Often it's recommended to upgrade to new hoses and better fluid in the brake system when upgrading to better rotors & pads.
