Is that suggested? And one more last question. Even though i have 67000 km i need to do the 60000 km service. i bought the car from Germany and the record for the 60k is not so clear. If somebody can suggest specific oil filter,cabin filter,air filter, engine oil so i order them i would really appreciate it.

Either pad is excellent from what I've heard from others. ATE Super Blue is a good brake fluid (and bleed out the clutch while you're under the car) and the next time you do the brakes/clutch, you can use the ATE amber colored fluid (same as Super Blue, only color is different) so you'll know when all the old fluid is out.
Oil recommendation in the US is Mobil 1 0W-40, so you can use that or many of the other 5W-40 oils that are on Porsche's approved list. Check around your area for available oils -- some to consider are Shell Helix Ultra, Motul 8100 Xcess, Total Quartz 9000, Fuchs Titan Supersyn (or GT1), and many others.
Do you need part numbers for the items you listed? If so:
oil filter: 996-107-020-55 (O-ring is 996-107-313-51 if not included)
cabin filter: 997-571-219-01
air filter: 987-110-133-00
