is that a pad issue or a heat issue - are you cooking fluid? if a heat issue, look to the gyrodisc floating rotors - not only are they floating (ie, lighter rotating mass) but they are bigger in diameter than oem while still working with oem calipers/pads (they come with a spacer for the calipers); bigger rotors = more cooling, and pushing the calipers out means more torque on the rotors = more braking.

have you removed the dust shields?

how about those titanium pad inserts to get some of the heat out?

twin turbo 6 piston front calipers? you can rebuild the whole front end (ie, such that you have tt wheel carriers that can fit them, + it widens your front track a bit) or you can get adaptors (ie, there's a guy in japan that makes them - can't recall the website but have posted it to this forum in the past - his adaptors also allow you the option to use cayenne 6 piston calipers which can be found a lot cheaper). if you are worried about the bigger front brakes upsetting bias, if I recall correctly you can increase rear braking by putting non-S front calipers on the back of your S - do a search on this - works with stock rotors.
