Going on 1 month since getting the Z finally fixed. Haven't really driven her and put maybe about 200 miles so far. Been having too much fun with the new ride.

Going easy on the Z for 1K miles for the clutch settle-in period. Car has 41K miles and it looked like the previous owner had already switched the clutch (ACT I believe?) and also with a single-mass flywheel. Either way, swapped everything out with the ZSpeed Kit (CMAK/Clutch/Flywheel). No clutch fluid leaks! Been so traumatized by this having to top off for the past 4 years, and check this constantly (I don't open the reservoir, but shine a light through it).

1. I can't say that I notice a difference, other than the clutch pedal engagement point being noticeably lower than OEM (the engagement point seems to be closer to the floor). Is this normal?

2. As the car warms up and driving around, the clutch pedal feels a bit "rougher" compared to when first cold-starting and driving. After driving about 30 minutes, the best I can describe the "rougher" feel is the clutch pedal feels a bit stiffer to push down and almost feels like it's slipping (but it's not and can change gears/drive normally). Normal?
