Also remember, the biggest factor in braking is tires, not the brakes. Braking performance is quoted with stock tires and the base model has narrow tiny front tires compared to the 'S'. In my 987 the ABS activates rather quickly because the 205 Conti's have very little grip compared to an 235 Azenis. I could put on much bigger brakes but without better tires or less weight it's not going to stop any quicker.
