A question to any who have installed SS clutch line

I finished installing it and my clutch engagement changed from being up where the clutch pedal is almost released to right down where you just start releasing or lifting up the clutch pedal.

Is this normal? If not, is it possible that there is still air in the lines?

The reason I don't think there is air in my lines is because my clutch is a lot more responsive now with the SS line and it doesn't feel mushy like it has before when I've had air in my lines, and it grabs really strong.

If anyone has any ideas they are greatly appreciated. Perhaps I just have to get used to this new feel of my clutch.

when i installed mine, nothing change except fot the pedal feel. maybe it cause i bled from the master all the way down to where th e clutch goes into the casing. so i guess that would mean both the slave and master cylinders i bled.

be sure to bleed from both bleed points, not just one.

does the SS clutch line make the clutch feel stiffer?

it would make more sense to do it that way.

Is there an order? I did the master cylinder first and then the one on the strut tower. If I do it again I am just going to buy some speed bleeders. I am lazy when it comes to things like that.
