I had the front rotors and pads replaced at Porsche 2 years ago for a wopping $1150.00, never make that mistake again.
Yesterday one of the techs at the Cadillac Dealership I work at repaced the front pads with ceramic enhanced semi-metallic with Kevlar Pads. The front pads I took off were really still 90% there after 2 years and 20K miles. I saved them and we just put in new pads.

I bought Balo Coated rear rotors that I picked up at Pelican Parts for $117 for the pair including shipping, amazing. I used the ceramic enhanced semi-metallic with Kevlar also on the rear. I spent $190 for everything and gave the tech $100 for the install.

After one day of use, really quiet and dust is down by 75%. I have black wheels on the 996 and the dust from the factory pads was really bad. I had to clean the wheels every day.
Here is a link to eBay where I got the pads: Polaris ATV Rear Brake Pads Set (2) - ASM DH4P - Part # 2202414 - OEM in Package | eBay
Here is a link to the pads: NewTek Automotive Distributors Inc. Brake Pads - Brake Drums - Brake Rotors
Write to the seller and tell him you want both front and rear pads. I paid an unbelievable $73.88 for pads for all 4 corners with free shipping.
