Did you check the fluid level for the clutch yet?

IMO, A full clutch pedal is fine. I assume no slipping or gear grinding is present and will also assume that anytime you change something that has a tactile feedback, the sence of feel will usually be a little bit different. If you leave it as is, you will very quickly become acclimated to your new clutch. As for the big change since the install I have no answer. Maybe the pedal adjustment screw is loose? Don't know.

No slipping when driving spirited, but when racing... if i shift at a pretty quick pace it slips for a second. Ive been told its the CDV or something. I dont race my S much since the clutch has been feeling strange.

Like, if i push the pedal all the way down i can hear a really really faint squeak noise. I mean you can barely hear it but its there.
