In my experience a stock full weight GSX or one with power modifications will incur fade at some point on a high speed track/circuit. Prior to my current setup I was running R4-Es up front, Axis in the back, and on stock rotors. At the end of a 25-30 min. session I could feel the onset of fade and certainly brought the fluid close to boiling point as bleeding the system between events was a must. The final straw for me to moved to a 'big brake' setup was the rate I was eating rotors and when my brake assembly caught fire. Check out the Evo setups for a 'cost effective' upgrade. And Carbotechs for the win (at least my wheels prefer not having ferrous material baked into them).
