Pads felt greased! Haha. So - what's the first couple steps that will improve this particular sort of braking?

I had the same thing on a WRX once at high speed but only because the brakes were cold. Cruising at 120kph for 20min without touching the brakes and then went flat out on a secluded straight stretch. Crested a hill at 230kph and saw 80kph signs and an intersection but had no brakes, the pedal just hummed under my foot. I thought I knew the road but got it wrong! I changed down, got the brakes back at 180kph and took the bend fast.
If it was like that at 130kph on cold brakes I would take to the dealer under warranty.
