if you really wanna know if it's pads or not, bleed the brakes.
1) it'll get out any existing air you have in the system
2) take the car out after you bleed and see how it feels
3) if it's better, then it cost you nothing but time and $1 worth of fluid
4) if that doesn't work, get new pads. although i kinda have a hard time accepting that you faded the brakes that much with a car that weighs at least 500lbs less than the car the brakes were intended for.
just thought of something, when you put the new brakes on, you did a COMPLETE SYSTEM FLUSH right? begining with the RR, then LR, then FR, then FL? maybe you got some poopy fluid still in the system and it boiled, i dunno. you're not going to find a DEFINITE answer from anybody here, you're going to have to try something yourself to figure it out.
