Used Mtec on the last three V6's that ive owned and never had any problems with them, Make sure you get the right rear discs from Mtec as they are confused over what the Calibra uses :)

the fact that my standard pads heat up and fade very quickly under heavy braking is the main reason for going with a better pad.

That will be half the reason they are fading Ally, when i went to drilled and grooved on std pads, there was a real difference once bedded in.

std pads are only better till the disc heats up then the green stuff will out do it hands down, green stuff can take a lot more heat than std ones can, now iv got video of my pads somking and part of the video showing how bad the brake fad was, my older not as good looking brother used to race at knockhill and used red and green stuff pads and never once had them smoke, he did say that red stuff are very scary when there cold so never used them on the road but found the green stuff the better
