Default Improve Brakes on accord V6 1999

Hello all,
The brakes on my accord V6 1999 have never been sharp, I have changed rotors and pads to Hawk HPS and slotted rotors, I have replaced all the calipers and master cylinder and also the booster, I also replaced the ABS. I also followed the procedure for adjusting the rear calipers with the E-brake. I bleed the brakes as well.

So when the engine is off, The pedal is very stiff.

I still can not get the brakes to be sharp, and I am wondering if any of you had this issue and what didi they do about it?

I could adjust the brake booster screw about a 1/4 to a 1/2 turn but I am affraid it would cause a lock up or a premature wear on the pads/rotors.

I dorve an MDX today and the brakes are sharp, I could not believe it how sharp they were, a slight press and I am almost in the windshield. This is how I want my brakes to be.

Thanks
