Default Brakes without a Booster

I am running a Mustang II front end with the 9" disc, a Mustang rear converted to disc's, and a Wilwood reverse pedal setup with the master cylinder mounted in the engine bay serving both the clutch and brakes and have found you have to stand on the pedal to stop. Not real comfortable with the outcome. I tried to upgrade the front to 11" rotors and found they hit the lower control arm. I was told I would need to grind the control arm down a little to make the rotors fit? Not sure I'm, comfortable with that either. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
NO dropped spindles....I do understand how hydraulics work so I'll have to look further into the mc bore....running Wilwood reverse pedal mounted compact remote master cylinder 3/4" bore with 1 13/32" stroke, with the reservoir mounted in engine compartment.
Not sure on the pedal leverage ratio, but it looks like Wilwood lists it as 5.1:1?
Any thoughts on what to do about the pedal ratio, change out the pedals maybe?? Are they adjustable??
