I have also noticed that the stock pads and rotors work better warm, as hard braking has much more bite on a second application within a few seconds of a first. So sometimes when I am really going at it fast on back roads I will brake occasionally just to keep the brakes warm. I have never driven this car on a track so I can only guess that the brakes get plenty hot and stay hot.
If you observe rally cars you will notice them pressing the brake while still on the gas to keep the discs piping hot for maximum braking performance.When going fast on snaky B roads it's worth doing this.
