For me the engagement point is just at the bottom of the "elbow" point in force. The force required to push the pedal increases up to an "elbow" point - as I call it - then decreases. The engagement point is just where the clutch becomes much heavier to push/hold.

It was the same on my last cars too.

If yours is far below that then maybe adjusting the master cylinder might be better than removing the spring?
