I also am running S in front and M in back with stock off the shelf rotors on a 993 - 3.6L powered car. PF-97 pads. The car is light but I also have huge air ducts to the brakes. The pads and rotors are not cooking in any way.

There's a lot of truth to that, although maybe Matt was slightly tongue in cheek, I don't know.
I've helped bunch of students with brake over heating issues by getting them braking harder, but shorter. They were braking loooong and not that hard which made their brakes run hotter, once they were comfortable enough to really stop on them and reduce the braking distance, over heating issues were a little more controlled also.
In the end though, I think Mike needs more cooling.
My suggestion is to remove the dust shields (or whatever they're called) and put some ducting from the front to the center of the brake disc.
