Default brake pedal travel

good morning all. just picked up a 02NA s60 w/163,000 mi on it. car is in good shape. this is more a comfort thing than a problem. is there any adjustment on the s60 to take some of the travel out of the brake pedal? the brakes work great i just would like them to "catch" a little sooner. on my F150 i was able to turn the rod from the booster to the MC out a little to solve the low pedal feel. my s40 and the tsx both have a high pedal and would like to have the same feel on the 60. just before i bought it all new brakes rotors etc were done. anyway just wondering. thanks for any replies.

You can try that but it might also mess with the sensors in the brake system and throw codes. Yes I know it takes time to get used to it.
I remember the first time I ever drove one I almost put myself through the windsheild.
Yes it is a really odd feeling brake system but I don't think there is really any adjustment to make it higher.
