Brand New Clutch Feels Soft

Hey all, So I needed a new clutch for the 8 and I decided to go with the exedy stage 1. Had a buddy's shop (this was probably the mistake) put it in and noticed it felt really soft. He said he noticed it too but "the reviews said it felt soft and they made it that way for daily driving so your foot won't get tired in traffic." Sounds believable, but this thing is INCREDIBLY soft, I don't even know where it bites unless I'm driving it. It just feels like there's a spring at the bottom of the pedal that's helping it back up.



So I took it back and he bled it for about a half hour, and it felt a LITTLE bit better but is still ridiculously soft. I've been driving it this way for about a month.



Well it's starting to genuinely **** me off so I decide to read on the interwebs and see everyone's saying it feels 10x better than stock, etc. etc. and even the description of the clutch says "designed to give an OEM feel" THIS DOESN'T FEEL LIKE OEM!



So my question, What could be going on with this thing? I'm not taking it back to his shop, I don't want him touching my car.



Keep in mind, it FEELS like a new clutch, it I just dump it between gears it kicks me in the ***, so that's nice. It just feels like there's no clutch in the pedal. My buddy's burned out stage 2 clutch on his miata feels stiffer than my brand new clutch.....



edit: should also mention that I got the flywheel resurfaced
