Default ACT prolite and CM FX300 install

Had a new clutch and flywheel installed after a breakdown on the road. The reason for which turned out to be a broken bolt (the one that the fork hinges on) which resulted in the fork going loose and me not being able to get home. Anyways long story short 3 weeks later car is back together and i had the clutchmasters fx300 unit, an ACT prolite flywheel, and an SS clutch line installed while the tranny was out. Flywheel def. made the car rev up noticibly quicker, u get used to it quick thou, so now i almost wish it was lighter , lol, but the great part is that heal and toe and quick downshifts are just a breaze , a light tap and ur in business, before it was more of a long jab at the throttle. Overall def. very worthwhile if not for the noise which is especially noticable and obnoxious below 1900 rpm...above that everything is fine and dandy, but try and give it like 1/2 to 3/4 throttle at 1500 and ull think ur getting attacked by an army of BB gun totting kids....or a cement truck...if anyone has a suggestion on the noise id love to hear it, altough apparently the one piece ACT unit is preety much as quiet as they get (single piece chromoly unit).
As far as the clutch, well im really surprised to b honest cuz i was expecting it to b stiffer, but its actually lighter than my stock one, feels almost too civilized, but im a bit annoyed with how low it catches. The stock clutch would engage about 3/4 of the way from the floor and this one is like 1/5 to 1/4 of the way from the floor....engages very soon down there and also engages much much quicker....much more grabby, overall im quite satisfied with the combo , the flywheel is great and diving into an onramp with a blip on the throttle and a downshift is just f*****g awsome now, the only thing i need to get taken care of is to figure out how to raise the catching point of the clutch. Wasen't there some way of adjusting where the clutch catches that was mentioned on the forum? If anyone knows and can point me in the right direction ill b thankful. Overall nice mod, makes driving more fun and would recomend it, unless ur one of those ppl that are annoyed by any rattle or occasional funky noise in ur car...not for u ..oh and heres some pics:
