Congrats on the car, it looks great! Will look even better once the lowering is complete. As for the clutch, it is doubtful the cable or quadrant will fix the stiff issue. Look at the firewall where the clutch cable comes through, if there is an adjuster, you should already have a fixed quadrant which is good. If you don't have one and are still running the stock nylon quadrant with adjuster pawl, you should replace it with a fixed aluminum quadrant and the firewall adjuster. Do you know what clutch is in the car? Stiff aftermarket clutches will cause the stock quadrant to fail over time (another way to test this is to put your foot under the clutch pedal and pull it back towards you. If you feel the cable adjust, then you know you have the stock quadrant). Typically, the only way to make a cable clutch easier to operate (assuming all parts are good) is to replace the clutch or at least the pressure plate.

Good luck with your car! You might want to consider trim rings for your roll bar. It will clean up that area.
