The only advice I can offer is this:
Get down in your footwell and look up under the pedals, on the brake pedal there should be a small pin held on with a clip, slide the clip off and remove the pin (The spring end should just lift off), once the pin is removed you should see that it went through a U shaped bracket which is now hanging from under the dash, this U bracket should be bolted onto a length of threaded metal and secured with a 15mm nut, loosen the nut, and screw the U bracket either up or down the thread and retighten the nut, put it all back together and try it, keep doing this until you get the pedal feel you want.

N.B> a small adjustment can make a big difference, do it too much and you'll find that your front brakes will bind and will need adjusting the other way< not good.
