They're generally good to 150K or more.
Are you sure the calipers and rotors need to be replaced? Sometimes on the earlier cars it's the ebrake cable(s) that need to be replaced when the bootie on the end doesn't and water/slush/salt gets in the cable.
Another solution is to remove your calipers and clean them/reseal them, replace the bushing/O-ring seal on the ebrake lever if the kit is available. Lots of people don't because the real issue with calipers is the thunk when backing up caused by excessive caliper to yoke clearance. The rebuilt calipers use a thin piece of shim bent in a U shape to take up the slack.
I like Axxis metalmaster pads despite their slight greasy feel when cold...the warm/hot performance makes up for it and they last much longer with very little brake dust.
