Personally, I've found brake pad wear to be very conditional on the climate in which you drive (really hot or really cold) and how hard you are on them, plus how much high speed braking you do. Rotors can last a long time if you don't run your pads down to nothing and cause metal on metal friction.

There are some aftermarket brake pads that do not produce nearly as much brake dust as the ones you'd get at the parts counter at your local Porsche dealership, but I do not recall what they are called. I'd like to know this info myself as I need new pads on the back of my 1997.

Hope this info is helpful, and I hope others chime in as well.
