What do you think I am....Stupid? (Don't answer that!)

The first mod everyone should try entails zero weight addition - finding a pad material that is optimal for the car and the way they drive it. If you are still experiencing fade after that, then I agee - you'll have to incur a bit of added weight to make any additional difference. BTW, FWIW, I found the 88 brakes to be considerably better than my 87s. Unfortunately the 88 is a bit of an orphan in terms of aftermarket parts availability.....
