ur basically using some cheapo pads la.... one of the main reasons ur having problems with genting. cant hold high temps.
FYI, my ex kelisa auto i had rapidstop 550c pads with stock rotors (solid, non-ventilated rotors). came down genting and it was horrendous... and i wasnt even speeding.... almost hit the back of an R34 coz of massive brake fade....after coming down oso the pads were squealing all the way back to subang... i had to tap on the brakes to silence it every now n then...
the next day oso same shit.. brakes were utter shit... so on the spot i decided to get THIS SPORTS TYPE PACKAGE n paired with pro rs hoses... huge improvement i tell u... and i mean HUGE! yes its expensive, but back then there wasnt much choices or PnP choices like there are now... plus all the parts were brand new :D and genting was such an improvement.. even with the maxtech pads, brake fade although still present, was significantly reduced.
so imho, if u wanna be able to maintain 14" wheels, the myvi brake setup would be better as u would have more choices of pads and rotors compared to a passo wan...u wan even more choices? get Honda B16A brakes.. can still fit a number of 14" wheels....
the RM500 wan u saw is the H22A brakes...but if u get the H22A brakes... later on when u bekside itchy, u can fit 4pot calipers on those rotors hehehehehehe
