Heh, this is kinda strange. The car will feel a little different under high speed braking than low speed, but it shouldn't feel anything like "no brakes". 130kph is only 80mph, that's not crazy high speed by any means, but we need more info...

What were the circumstances, were you out cruising around, on twisty mountain roads, on a track? How many miles are on the car? Was the pedal soft? Was ABS activated? Were you actually pushing the pedal firmly or it just didn't brake as hard as you thought it should?

Its possible the pads were glazed, fluid boiled etc... If you really need an upgrade, better pads and fluid would be the first step. It's the final step for most, the stock braking system is pretty solid until it's pushed to its limits, which should only be achievable at a track, not on the street.
