This is the issue right here. You have a pedal ratio for a power booster on a non-boosted application. Until you fix this, nothing you do will make much of a difference.

The smaller discs you have work fine in heavier cars, so don't focus on that. Bigger is better, of course. But it's not your main issue.

Larger bores on the MC will move more fluid, but produce less pressure. That's not what you want. You go to a smaller bore. That would create more pressure, but move less fluid. And it would increase pedal travel. Life's full of trade off's.

Adjusting the balance bar is pretty important for balance. But the lack of pressure is still the primary issue.

Either change the pedal ratio to 7.5-8, or add a booster.
