Default Dead zone in brake pedal

Hey all,
I just installed LS400 brake calipers in the front and now the brake pedal have a dead zone about 1cm or about 7/16in on the very top. The car stops just fine and the pedal feels firm, but I am not sure if the dead zone was there in the begining or if I just didnt noticed it before.
Is this normal or should the pedal bite at the very top ?

I think most cars I've driven have a small amount of dead area before the brakes bite. I think what you are describing is normal. Its probably there so you can cover the brake pedal without engaging the brakes as a defensive driving move.
