If you think it is a hydraulic problem, start here. With the car stopped, but running, press the brake pedal really slow...does it gradually go to the floor? If it does, then chances are good that the master cylinder is eroded, or the seals are bad. Brake fade typically happens after repeated hard stops and heat takes its toll. If your rear pads are worn, they could be helping the brake fade problem because there's very little friction material to dissipate heat. Heavy braking can also make dirty brake fluid boil because of moisture build-up along with impurities.
