The pedal is a little stiffer than stock but, it is worth it. I love it for the drivability aspect and it grips pretty well too.

I did 200 miles being easy on it and another 200 slightly aggressive with no launching. Mine seems to be working just fine.

Wow, tell us how you really feel, hah!

I've had my ACT with heavy duty pressure plate for 25k miles so far and probably 20+ launches at the track. No issues and still going.

Definitely a heavier pedal than stock or the Exedy.

Act hdss here. No boosting whatsoever for 500miles then gradually gave more gas over the next few hundred miles. Pedal feel is definitely heavier but you will get used to it quickly. I do have a nice left calf now, almost like a golf ball coming through the skin haha. Its been almost 2 years now with meth on the stock turbo and its just as good as new. I don't launch it though, but many do all day and it holds up fine.

ACT is a very nice clutch, it's only a bit stiffer than stock but grips really well, it's the perfect alternative for OEM!

The ACT is stiffer than stock, but unless you're a sissy man with a weaksauce foot, it shouldn't bother you.

I love my ACT.

I like how the HDSS feels compared to an Exedy Twinplate. The Twin plate it seems like you really have to rev it to 2K+ rpms or else it will want to stall.
