Rep Power: 356 ?? You are trying to get it lower to the floor? you should be using the minimum pedal travel possible.

Rep Power: 258 You don't want the engagement point too high or in the future it might slip on you. Somewhere near the middle usually works best. But, I haven't tinkered with mine yet so I can't help you. Too bad it's hydraulic and not cable, those are cake.

Rep Power: 0 I know how to lower the clutch already inside the car the part where the clutch kinda hydraulic gold shaft thing below the car.
first you just untighten the nut then adjust it lower to lower the engagement. I had to learn this from my bro, he knows how to adjust since he drives an Si and he lowered his clutch engagement also.

Rep Power: 0 it's not just the physical height I'm talking bout here there are 2 adjustments that can be done right on the clutch inside the car, there is this but and bolt type of adjustment which is in front of the clutch pedal... when you see it it's also gold colored nut and bolt... this is just to adjust the physical height... don't adjust this till you've adjusted the shaft first...
the shaft is what the clutch pedal pushes... it's a gold colored metal shaft with a nut located near the pedal side and not the firewall side. untighten the nut then tighten the shaft inwards to lower the clutch engagement.
then adjust the front nut and bolt to lower the pedal physically so that there won't be that much slack when you depress the pedal.
