Yes

"The brakes may begin to fade after the 7th or 8th near-stop. This fade will stabilize, but not completely go away until the brakes have fully cooled. A strong smell from the brakes, and even some smoke, is normal."

I've read the piece, I'm asking for your experience.

Also on front wheel drive cars do you put weight in the back to get the rear brakes to do something?

Yeah I usually get fade from the 4th application on road pads and later depending on how spicy the pads and brake setup is.

I've never needed to weigh down a FWD car even with a completely stripped out one
