I usually use 7/8" on four piston calipers. With the right pedal/lever ratio you should be right where you want to be with good feel.

7/8 is pretty much a standard for the 4-piston deal.  We are not road-racing these cars so absolute peddle ratio numbers are not too much a priority.

7/8ths here as well and my pedal ratio is nowhere near what they say needed but stops like a dream with no issues--I have a 2 lb residual valve too
I have always had a fascination with fast cars at the expense of more normal character development
