Well, how hot the pads get in the first place all depends on what brakes you have.
I guess you can put the best pad on the smallest rotor, which can probably take you pretty far until you can't keep the fluid from boiling or bearings from melting or the car from being undriveable on the street.
I like getting the most out of a part before replacing it, but in the case of brakes, the deal was too good to pass up.
