So I changed the master and the slave, car is still not going in to gear. When I press on the clutch it feels like something is rubbing together, I can feel it in my foot. I changed everything except for the line on the slave, could that still be the problem or is this something bigger?

Sounds like a partially split disc, allowing one of the springs to drag on the PP. This would explain not going into gear.
With the car not running, does the clutch pedal "feel" normal?

I think so, I'll check in the morning and post a response to that question. Just a little back story though, new oem disc/act pp/bearings/resurfaced flywheel were installed less than 15k miles ago. If this turns out to be a clutch problem could this mean faulty parts, an incorrect install or just "shit happens"? Also I don't know if this matters but if I start up the car in first and drive, it runs through the gears normally. Basically just first and reverse won't go in without the car being off.

Your clutch is not fully disengaging. It's either air in the slave system (you can feel if the pedal is not "right" with the car off)...
Or something in the disc is broken, or a rusted spline, or install error. The setup you have is the most reliable in existence, sh!* does not just happen.

So with the car off the pedal feels smooth when I push it but it's not getting stiff until about 3/4 through engagement. With the car on stiffness engages slightly sooner but I feel that rubbing/sticky feeling in the pedal. Should I send it back to the same guys that did the install? They are the go to S2000 mechanic for Orlando, so pretty reputable.

Possibly air in the line. The squeaky pedal could have been the installers forgetting to grease the clutch fork. Both are easy to fix on your own.

I just changed the MC and slave and bled the system, same symptoms as before. There's no squeaking in the pedal and I just greased the fork while I was down there
