If you had decent fluid and non oem pads you wouldn't get brake fade driving city streets. I actually find it had to believe you'd fade oem brakes in town at all, but if you've got 10 year old brake fluid that's probably possible.
I track the stock system at in south Florida in the summer with: endless fluid, Ferodo pads, and brass pin bushings. I've gotten pretty quick too, so I assume I'm pushing the brakes pretty hard. Never faded them.
In terms of looking at retrofit brake kits, If you don't upgrade to a much better rotor design (not some other car's oem system) you're not going to gain an ounce of performance over just putting good fluid and hybrid pads (e.g ds2500) in your existing system.
The issue with the oem brake system is not the massive single piston caliper. It's the poor airflow of stock rotors (compared to a nice bbk).
You don't want to invest in bbk, so look at some PFC dd v3's for the front axle. The stock rear's are fine for even very spirited street driving.
