Boxster S has one of the best brake setup and consistently gets shortest braking distance test on C&D/R&T/Consumer Reports. There's little reason to use aftermarket stuff unless you're looking for something with higher operating temperature - ie. take your car to the track or do auto-x. You'll also lose the ability to use the brake pad wear sensors.

Also, the rears only do 20% of the braking anyways, you don't have to replace all four corners unless they're all worn.
