After a track day, you need to replace the brake fluid. You can't just keep using the same old overheated fluid for day to day driving. Change your engine oil and transmission fluid too.

i've had a jazz and regularly go winton with aftermarket pads on stock calipers and rotors. Use RBF660 brake fluid and have no problems. I stomp on the brakes all day long and no brake fade problems. i go through a set of brakes pads each trackday. if your looking for a cheap upgrade, upgrade the brake fluid and brake pads. the standard brake pads and brake fluid are rubbish on the track, they can't cope with the extreme heat and stres.
Just remember you get what you pay for... Motul comes in RBF600 ~$40/bottle and RBF660 ~$50/bottle i last checked. Within racing circles, most people bleed brakes fairly regularly so it doesn't really which one you pick. Personally i bleed before and after every trackday with the motul RBF660. RBF600 vs RBF660 is about the same, not really gonna notice the difference, but i tend to pay a bit more for RBF660 for piece of mind on the track...
if you got really deep pockets, look towards the Castrol SRF stuff. This is actually the same stuff as the the Endless and AP Racing brake fluid...(minus the colouring and packaging).... i've heard that this one of the best money can buy.
