No... I don't want to ruin it, since the engagement feels almost exactly the same as the M3, but with a shorter travel

Glad you like the stock setup. Way too high of an engagement for me...now the engagement happens a little after releasing from the floor and feels a lot more natural now.

Most underrated: Driver mod - This includes knowing your car, your body mass, conditioning, fear, money, cocky, confidence, exercise, lazyness, fat, lean, skinny, short, tall, etc.

I had to ditch the base head unit as a first mod (would have been exhaust, but mine came with TRD from factory). Music sounded like it was coming from only one speaker and the rear speakers made next to no sound even with fader all the way to the rear. New pioneer head unit made a world of difference.

You won't like driving an M3 then... lol... unless mine is a factory freak, I only require a bit of ankle movement to get it rolling...

Maybe they changed the engagement on the series 10 .....because if you look thru that thread, so many people agree about the super high engagement.
If you ever go to a FRS/BRZ meet in PR, you ought to drive someone else's to compare...

Just measure the exact height relative to brake and maybe mark screw adjustment placement prior to the mod, so you can put it right back where it was.....I cannot tell you how surprised I was on how much better this made the car feel. Really felt like I was driving a completely different car.

Good luck.
