Um.. First of all, I think you mean brakes. And how long have you had your car? What are you doing, like 1993hondacivic said, that is creating such problems? Of course, I will always recommend the AEM big brake kit.

Also, Brembo is well known for their brake products as well.

First off, go to a brake place and get your brake fluid flushed, that can usually help with many problems like this. If that doesn't help much (which it should at least a little if not completely) then invest in a quality set of Stainless Steel brake lines. Then if that doesn't help out either, you need a new brake set (rotors, pads, maybe even calipers too). But starts at the first thing, see if that helps, if not, then go to the next thing. You don't want to spend anymore $$$ on this that you need to. Why get new brakes, if you just need your lines flushed, you know?

Also I'm trying to figure out how you could be over heating them in the first place? I'm rather hard on the brakes in my '00 Civic, and I haven't experienced much more than some minor brake fade occasionally. Even when I ride some of the local mountain roads, coming down hill, I don't get much brake fade, yeah they warm up, but nothing I've ever been concerned about. Just try not to stop quick when you don't need to, that's the key to dropping $$$ prematurely on brakes when you really don't need to.
