I'm thinking brake fluid... Does anyone have any other ideas?
A higher boiling point brake fluid would be my first suggestion as it is the cheapest and easiest to do.
With that setup, I don't see any reasons to get EXTREME brake fade, so you must be driving the hell out of your setup. It may be time for a further upgrade in your setup, or a downgrade in your driving style.
