2017+ PP Brembo pads replacement recommendations?

2 days ago I had little close call with truck and because of that I had to smash the breaks to the floor at 180 kph on super soft slick tires (TW50). Obviously car stopped within some absolutely insanely low distance, I stalled because I had to fight law of physics to not get ejected from my seat but everything ended up happily.

The only problem is that my brakes no longer work as they used to. I think I glazed pads since I used to do that in my previous cars multiple times and symptoms were kinda the same - required noticeably higher force on pedal to apply the same breaking power and breaking feels much less linear. And while it may sound unlikely to damage such beefy pads (I have Brembo PP breaks) after one breaking - they probably were already quite hot to begin with since I was driving quite hard at that time, testing new tyres grip (fyi we have record breaking heatwave in Poland now so there's like 14 deg C outside now). So all in all I'm probably looking for some top of the line, no questions asked performance pads. Price, economy, dust doesn't matter.
