Default em1 competition clutch problems/adjustment

the clutch in my em1 engages up top almost more then halfway off the floor. i would prefer it to release closer to the floor. the previous owner told me it is a competition stage 4???? also the clutch pedal seems kinda soft for such radical clutch. i never felt anyone elses competion clutch so i really cant compare it to anything. is there anyway to adjust where it grabs and is there anyway to increase the stiffness? i tried bleeding it many times already? will a stainless steel hose increase the feel?

if you're that curious, and skeptical as to what clutch is in it, you can always pull your tranny out quick and take a look, otherwise there's really no way to tell..

Have you google'd clutch adjustment? There is a bolt up there which can adjust the pedal.

Where are you located? I am about 5 min outside of Philly in Drexel Hill.

There's a procedure for that, you can't just set it where you want. Follow the procedure and where the engagment points ends up is where it should be, it wont always be to your liking.
