I'm wanting to improve my brakes' capacity for long mountain descents without overheating. Which changes help this? Slotted rotors? Some particular kind of pads? Of course I'll use high temp fluid.

My brakes are about due for routine wear replacement anyway...

mods so far: CTA intake with homemade heat shield, KVR drilled front rotors & carbon pads w/ 500° fluid
planned mods: exhaust (want to keep it quiet), e-ram (awaiting installation), diablo chip
involuntary mods: compression increased after head gasket failure
