You can adjust the clutch pedal height, but you have to do it right, see other posts, and Subaru gets flaky about you doing it because of the waranty which includes the clutch and brakes. I understand they want to be sure the clutch is fully disengaged, but several inches is too much and it takes so long to get fully engaged, that can cause slippage too. And if this car was designed "purposefully for the track" then the current clutch specs are crazy. The clutch actually has a stop to keep it from going to the floor contributing to the too high feeling. Your right and left foot should be in proper relation to each other.
Follow the DIY and adjust the height yourself! It's not a warranty issue that Subaru is going to care about. You are turning a bolt to adjust travel, not removing/adding plates or cutting things. It's MEANT TO BE DONE. You can also put it back just as easily.
