I just got new front pads and rotors from pelican today. It was reinforced in my mind to do this myself after going to a PCA DE inspection event where they let anyone use the lifts. Another member with a boxster drove up and intended to change fluid and do all pads so I helped him and it was so amazingly easy to do.
The dealer wanted 1100 for front rotors and OEM pads on the front only. I came out better than that getting all the parts, a Motive bleeder, brake fluid, a jack and all tools needed plus extra stuff (wrench and socket set from sears) torque wrench for wheels, etc etc. but basically parts were less than half that quote.
I did notice he just used a pair of pliers (opening) to push the old pads apart to make room for the new thicker pads. No fancy spreaders or c clamps needed. Other than that it looked really easy.
