Default LS7 clutch engagement height

I'm trying to help my dad out, we put an LS7 clutch in his WS6 a month ago, but the engagement is alot lower than stock. The pedal is real light the 1st 1/2 of pedal travel, then 1/2 way down it finally starts to disengage. Is this normal? It feels like air in the hydrolics to me...

thats how its supposed to be. Once its broken in properly, it will come up almost to stock height. I put a little over 200 miles on mine before I got on it, and its great.

It's not that feeling. I did a clutch in my car and it was engaging right off the floor too. This is a completly different feeling, the pedal doesn't even start to disengage the clutch until halfway down. And it already has 200+ miles on it.

I tought that people should break in clutch's for at least 500 city miles. Put some more city miles on it.

Yup, get the air bubbles out with a Mighty Vac. Search the forums.
