Mood: boo hoo what have i done !!!
My bip had crap brakes that used to fade on trackdays and as you describe felt very lazy.....
I changed the obvious and changed the m/cylinder for the later type which only improved marginaly on what i had had....
The answer in my opinion is the calipers on the 916 arent up to the job... I now have an sp3 this has full floating cast iron discs, same m/cylinder and calipers as the bip,but fitted with good quality pads
The brakes are a lot better but still not a touch on the 996bip which carries the later and larger brake calipers..
You could always go for the full brembo jobbies..... OOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHH lovely
you would only have to look at the front brake lever and they would stop you dead!!!!!!!!!
