next question is why the CS brakes don't feel as tight or 'grabby' as most my other cars... i figured 4 pistons would be super tight...
I think you may be looking at it the wrong way. Many brands today, Audi, BMW, etc. all seem to have WAY overboosted brakes IMO. Just touching them seems like it puts you through the windshield giving the "impression" of powerful brakes,...not the case.

Ideal brakes have a very progressive feel, apply a little braking pressure on the pedal....get a little braking power, apply a lot, get a lot. The brakes should respond according to how much pressure is put on the pedal.

Porsche brakes (when in good condition) provide a great linear, progressive, and "non-fake" feel.....one that stays there through multiple hard braking attempts. Try that with any other floating caliper type performance car and you will get a really bad feeling after 4 or 5 good hard stops.
