You can make a much more informed purchase decision if you know the Brand or Manufacturer of the "OEM" parts. Sometimes they're truly the same, other times really not even close. There's defintely money to be saved if you do a little research.
I know you want to buy your parts closer to home, and you should, but it might be worth checking out pelicanparts.com for quality ratings on various manufacturers' parts. They sell many types of brake pads of varying levels of quality from a number of different manufacturers. If you liked your presumably original brake pads, you may want to go with Textar brand pads, which I believe are the same pads Porsche re-boxes and sells as its own for a lot more money. There are many comparable aftermarket pads that are just as good or better for the same or less money.
With the brake discs you need to make sure get ones that have the centers and disc edges zinc coated or they will rust. Porsche discs have been coated. Zimmermann sells ones that have been zinc coated and ones that have not. Most discs have not. You can paint them but they will eventually rust.
