Hard brakes

[Zordrack]

So I was reading up on posts on the forum and came across someone talking about brakes feeling rock hard indicating that was an issue.

From the day we bought our 2000 S the brakes have felt super hard.
Like the pedal moves between half an inch to an inch when fully depressed.
It doesn't require excessive pressure it's just that the pedal doesn't seem to move but relies more on pressure instead of travel.

I always just chalked it up to Porsche idiosyncrasy, but reading the post made me wonder.

Is this not how they're supposed to feel and if so what should I start looking at ?

Thanks guys.
