Considering that new Porsche pads will run you about $300 ($164 for non-geniune), and rotors will cost you roughly $650 ($300 for non-genuine), the price isn't bad. It's an easy job though, so it doesn't require much labor (maybe 2 hours).
If you get Hawk HPS, be aware that these will eat your rotors very quickly, and will generate tons of brake dust. Clean your wheels regularly (weekly maybe) and keep them polished/waxed. Personally, I'd recommend sticking with regular pads for day-to-day driving, and swap out the Hawks for the track. It's an easy job and doesn't take long. In fact, it will probably take longer to jack the car, remove and re-install the wheels than it will to change the pads.
