Brake feel issue?!

Hey, I have a question maybe you guys experience the same and may have a solution for it.

So I have just recently got my brake pads changed because the olds were worn out but kept the original discs as they were still fine.

I used DBA Extreme performance pads, they were bedded in i would say as they should.

So the problem, in normal use it feels like I cannot achive the full stopping power, so if I slowly pushing the brake pedal the braking power is just not there, i cannot really block the tires, im missing the bite.

However what I found if I kinda like kick the brake pedal, so the speed of the brake pedal travel is fast Im getting the full braking power. After some AI work it seems with this I activate the BAS (Brake Assist System) which is usually for emergency braking.

Question:
Is there any solution or trick to have more direct control over the brakes and achive the full braking power with "ease in" braking technique? I would prefer not to change the whole caliper as it is expensive and im not tracking the car, only local curvy roads.

There is a plan to upgrade the discs, brake oil, and brake lines but im not sure if this solves the issue.

Car is: 2023 i30N DCT
