Let us know.
I hate installing other people's supplied parts almost as much as I hate buying something someone else modified.
Because now you have to figure out why the thing doesn;t work and it may very well be the kit that was supplied, which puts you in the middle of the customer and the supplier, both of which are going to point at you.
They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.

With the engine off, pump the brake pedal 10 times. Push on the brake pedal and start the engine - You should feel the pedal drop under your foot. If not the booster/vacuum source is bad or the MC to Booster interface has a problem.
It drops a little. The main thing seems to be there is not enough travel in the pedal.

Can you see any daylight between any of the pads and rotors?
If there is, that could be taking up most of your stroke.
If you ever find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck.

do you have an adjustable valve on the rear line to adjust the rear brakes from overpowering the fronts?
