I don't believe there is a weakness in the braking system and it could be due to improvements made to lessening drivetrain losses and lower rolling resistance tyres.

Not in a million years do I think my brakes aren't up to the job and perhaps it is just a case of getting used to the brakes (like I am only just now gotten used to the lighter steering effort and lack of feedback after more than 3000km). But I wouldn't mind something that feels stronger.
there was a good post in the brake sub forum about this, I think by RPM90. I understand what you're saying and the brakes themselves aren't the issue, I think spending the money on the performance kit might end up being a waste and the solution lies elsewhere.
