wouldn't you have to update the master cylinder?...the Evos brakes are much larger (4 piston front) and require a lot more fluid to properly operate those brakes - the more fluid a new set of calipers require the more your foot has to push down on the pedal to the point you may have to push it to the floor just for full lockup or even worse pump it intensely to get more pressure

what did you install for the master cylinder? (was it from another Honda or did the EVO one fit?...did you also have to change out the proportioning valve (biases brakes between front & rear) for the larger flow of brake fluid going through it?
