sounds like they need bleeding so the peddle is stiffer and brakes will bite quicker

my sister's 1.2 Corsa C brakes are a lot more responsive than mine. could be a number of different things. im guessing its just the brakes set up or servo.

you are running larger calipers on a smaller mastercylinder/servo so you have to press longer to get the same movement plus green stuff pads are shite and the brakes probably need bled
