I have 3 vehicles - silverado 3500, escalade, and the 986. the silverado and escalade have a much longer brake pedal travel than does the boxster and the stopping power of those vehicles very much relies on pedal travel first and then pressure only at the end of travel (like if I'm towing a heavy load down a steep hill with a trailer that doesnt have any brakes). my 986 pedal relies more on pressure than travel - the other day i did a hard stop from 60 - 5 in about 50 feet or so and with me STANDING on the brake pedal it still didnt have much travel (but it stopped none the less).

blue's point is a valid one from a systems approach, but i think its very easy to read threads on this forum and start down a rabbit hole. if the brakes work, dont mess with it.
