Question New ML 500...question on brakes...

Just picked up a new ML 500 Sport...Capri Blue My first venture into SUV territory....I like the truck alot, plenty of power...nice interior and features. What I don't like are the brakes....they are way too soft in the pedal for my taste...the 500 comes with big vented disks and four piston calipers...they should give better feel....I wondering if anyone out there knows if they can be adjusted to give a better bite????..I don't think they need to be bled because the pedal is very consistant...just very soft. Granted I'm coming off a CLK 55 so maybe I'm spoiled but this is a very similar brake package and should give better feel. there just needs to be better balance, ie. for the brakes as reponsive as the accelerator. Also, anyone know of any upgrades to improve steering feel? It's not as bad as the brakes, but is also a bit mushy for my taste.

Thanks....
