Either
a) your brake fluid needs to be replaced, or just change your brake fluid to something better (AP racing 600 or similar).
or
b) If you are just standing completely 100% on the brakes every few seconds on a winding road, with no straights to cool them - that would sound like "user error" to me..
Many sports cars (I'm not considering the GT one) brakes will fry if they don't have sufficient cooling due to low speed windy roads and you just cumulatively increase the thermal soakage with max braking on a windy road.
The 330mm brakes performance even on standard pads/discs is better than many faster/more expensive cars, they certainly seem to brake faster than an E46 M3's in my experience (albeit the M3 is a fair bit heavier).
I have only tried braided hoses 330mm setups, but with OEM pads the car can pull 0.98g under braking reliably on track without fade in a 15min session (0.98g being the tyres limits). I would expect the same with standard hoses, just less pedal feel.
On type-R tyres with DS2500 pads, it would go up to 1.14g - which is excellent braking by any standard for a road car.
cheers,

I drive my car quickly sometimes and when I do I can induce Severe Brake Fade within a few minutes! and this on a car which has 9k Miles on it in my opinion is Not Acceptable.
Why should I have to pay for braided hoses or upgrade Discs/Pads/Calipers when I paid £21k for this car??
