To answer your original post - I don't think you can get there from here. The brakes are better on the Cayman because Porsche takes brakes more seriously than almost any manufacturer, and pads won't make up the difference with your Z4. The better steering feel is partly the result of the hydraulic steering, but largely due to the mid-engine layout taking a lot of weight off the front tires. Again, nothing you can do about that.
