Default Pedal Question: Brakelines or Master Cylinder

When I press my brakes, I notice my pedal travels further before fullying stopping. Does this mean I have to re-bleed my brakelines or replace my master cylinder? I notice my pedal feels much softer (good thing). However, I need to press it more further to fully come to a stop (maybe a bad thing).

I have just upgraded my calipers only. My brakeslines were re-bled by my mechaninc and he is very capable.
How would you know whether you need to replace a master cylinder?
Any other thoughts?

Thanks techies!

if you upgraded to calipers that have a larger capacity, they may require more fluid to work, so you in fact may need a larger master cylnider/ brake booster.

TONYXCOM, thanks for the info.

Are all Honda/Acura Master Cylinders interchangeable? Can I swap a Legend M/C into an Accord..etc? Thanks again.

I know most of the civic/integra stuff bolt up to eachothers firewalls and brake pedals, but the lines that come out vary from slight modification, to extensive modification
