I was worried about this too, but everyone says the BBK is correctly balanced to the WRX master cylinder and rear brakes so the pedal is actually very easy to modulate and feels great.

And if it's not.... then I'll look into adjusting the pedal and or a single stage brake booster out of a Ledacy Turbo (since that's the real culprit).

Actually.... I wonder what happens if you disconnect the vacuum lines that go to the brake booster. My legs are pretty strong... I wonder it I'd still be able to get the car to the tire's limits w/o power assist.
Oh, don't worry about that; brake bias and pedal feel will still be great. But you will have to push the pedal a bit farther to achieve a given pressure than you do now. It may or may not be significant enough to cause problems for you, bigfoot.
