OK today i got really scared...its like the first really hot day of the summer, about 100 degrees and as i drove around my brakes really started acting up, i have new front and rear pads but this is what it did. When i press the brakes it makes a pronounced "spongey squeeking sound" just as i can hear it, i can actually feel it in the brake pedal. Its like a spongey vibration..But the scariest part about it is that the brakes work at about 15% of their normal capacity. Theyre fading horribly. I dont know what the hell it could be but its scary as ****! Can someone please help me? Maybe someone has had the same symptoms with their brakes at one time or another?
Please Help

nothing else to do but yank the wheels and inspect the system. Make sure there is no air in the system.
But your master cylinder may be on the fritz. Check out the haynes manual as to troubleshooting techniques if the brake pads/calipers/fluid seems fine.

sounds like you brakes need a good bleed down, but gotta wonder how air would have gotten in their with a pad change....are you using some thing other than stock replacements, thought I read somewhere that "high performance" brake pads require heating up prior to performing as advertised..good luck and be careful
in addition to what was said, had you been on them a bit before they started fading, etc badly? you might have boiled the brake fluid. a good flush can never hurt, IMHO and might take care of the issues. Please dont drive the car till it is fixed.
good luck.
good luck.
