Actually, this whole process/ reasoning is why I was seeking a solution to the high clutch pedal engagement in our cars, as I like to have my cars grab at where I've always become comfortable with (and this DIY thread was made) Lol
I want to thank you for writing this DIY, without it I couldn't get use to the FR-S/86 stock height with the clutch engagement. I'm 6'4" and I thought I had to live with it. My knee and leg thanks you, now that they aren't banging on the steering wheel upon letting go of the clutch.
