No such thing, but I'm guessing that you mean that they're brake levers only, no integrated shifters.

Still not clear. Eventually the bar will stop the range of motion of any brake lever. Are you saying that the levers bottom out against the bar w/o giving decent braking? Either really poorly adjusted, excessive slack in the installation, or improper brake/lever combo.
Drop bar levers are designed to sit at the apex of the bend, if yours are placed too far away from there it can also lead to loss of travel.
