clutch question

I just got a ACT S/S clutch and pressure plate installed. It says on the rxtstore website that it should be about 40% stiffer than stock. I was really surprised to find out it really wasn't much stiffer at all. Im starting to think I got the wrong clutch. But I also don't know if the one that came out was stock. The pressure plate was blue, I dont know if the stocker is blue. When I had a dsm and got a ACT 2800 clutch put into that my left leg doubled in size because of how stiff it was. THis one isnt even close to that. Anybody with an S/S clutch out there let me know what you think.

They say the same thing about my ACT clutch, but I'm with you, I don't feel much of a difference in pedal pressure.

It's a little stiffer. Drive it for a while, then try a stock clutch again. You will notice a difference.

BTW, The stock clutch is not painted.

I wasn't sure if the clutch that was in there was stock or not. Im just really surprised the pedal didn't get stiffer.

Replaced OEM with the ACT s/s. I didn't notice any difference either.

Mine wasn't noticeably stiffer either. It's definitely the ACT clutch though, it has no "slipping" time. It's either in or it's out.
