That pedal is always going to feel crappy with the stock 13/16" master cylinder. The ITR calipers take a LOT more fluid to move than your stock calipers. I'd recommend upgrading to at least a 15/16" MC. A 1" (ITR size) would be even better.

How are you using a RHD MC on a LHD car?

Did you bench bleed the MC before installing? Did it squirt fluid out of the fittings? Maybe you kinked the brake line.
