Some pads, like Ferodo, are supposed to have a thermal barrier layer between the compound and backing plate. There are also titanium shims and piston inserts that are supposed to remove heat from the piston, but I've only seen these for Porsches.

I cooked my dust seals on my last Integra in street driving.
