Agreed, my 987 Spyder brakes are mushy too, from what I’ve read it was baked into the 987 models to make them easier to drive but the result is not confidence inspiring to say the least. I much prefer the brake feel of my 964.

The 997 GT3 Master Cylinder is the solution and doesn’t require any modification to the chassis or brakes to make it work, at least on the 987.2.
