EDIT: To further elaborate why your pedal feels the way it does, your master cylinder is putting out the same volume but the brake caliper pistons are larger so they require more fluid to move the same distance as a smaller brake piston would. This results in a further brake pedal travel and less foot pedal effort. The textbook correct way to do this upgrade would be to get a larger master cylinder as well which some people have done, but it requires a lot of work to either find a compatible/bolt on master cylinder or make an entirely different one work by either changing the booster and/or deleting ABS.

From what I have read and researched if you don't want to upgrade your master cylinder keep your abs and same pedal feel. You use the stock or the 13WE calipers only. The main reason everyone upgrades to to eliminate the rotor warping on stock.
