The hardest part for me was getting a good angle on the locking nut with the 12mm wrench. I had to lie on my back and keep positioning around the other pedals until I finally got a good spot to grab hold. The rest worked quite easy. And it is very true that a little rotation goes a long way with moving the pedal.
I did not need to adjust the clutch engagement sensor with the little bit that I moved the pedal. Selected gear display still works and I am assuming cruise control still works as well, but I just went around the block to test shifting and making sure the pedal was set right.
Thanks again for the info. It has definitely increased my driving experience with this car.

Improved driving experience is what it's all about! It's awesome most people also found the most comfortable point to be having the clutch just slightly lower than the brake.
As for the questions about if this method will work with adjusting the brake pedal, I personally wouldn't touch it because in the stock stroke; when you are braking hard, the current brake position puts you right in line for smooth heel-toe downshifting; moving the brake pedal further towards the firewall would possible make things awkward =P
