Super sensitive brakes are a good thing. The Brakes in my Boxster are VERY sensitive, and that's as I like them to be. To achieve this, I change the fluid on avg. every 1.5 yrs. and pump at least 2.5 ltrs. through to insure that 'all' the air is out. Also, my Pads and Rotors are well within spec and the Master Cylinder is in excellent shape.

But, most of what you describe is very subjective, not to mention you're taking what someone else said about their car and automatically applying it to your car without driving the other car as a comparison.

But, really, very little info on which to make an objective guess.

What is the mileage on the car? The Brake Pads? Rotors? Brake Fluid? With regard to heavy steering, what size are the front tires? Increasing the width will require more effort at low speeds, etc.
