When your ready, swapping in a OEM friction disc wile utilizing the SOS PP will resolve that. That last 10% that doesn't behave like stock, will, wile getting all the SOS holding capacity.

I have this kit sitting in my garage too and just installed the clutch yesterday. It drives similar to stock, although it chatters a bit and grabs noticeably harder. Hooray for group buy from SOS!
I'm still getting used to it haha It's definitely a noticeable difference. What size pulley did you order?

Shouldn't be really if it was installed correctly, its as close to OEM as your going to get in aftermarket, in fact it is a modified OEM clutch. Sounds like you need to adjust your clutch engagement and peddle height. Do you know how to do this?

Maybe I should bleed the clutch. I adjusted the pedal as shown in the instructions and it drives really well. The instructions do say it needs more travel than stock due to the heavier pressure plate. Maybe thats what im trying to describe.

Well obviously make sure it doesn't have any air in the lines, but otherwise just adjust it where you like, as long as it disengages enough to shift smoothly and the peddle has free play so the clutch isn't riding. I like my clutch even with the brake peddle, that's really where it should be. Where it engages in the peddle stroke can be manipulated by the free play amount and peddle height.
