I'm afraid that the pads would have to run a little hotter. Braking a car from speed is energy-limited rather than temperature-limited, and most of whatever heat energy you manage to keep out of the caliper pistons/seals/calipers/fluid has to remain in the pads. There may not be much pad temperature rise, but it will go up some.
