Default performance clutch?

I'm not sure there is an answer for you. I've found that the S2000 clutch is one of the lightest clutches I've owned. Most people complain about not enough clamping force and want a stronger pressure plate to reduce clutch slippage. You want to go the other way.
I think is might be a matter of you working your leg muscle more and getting used to the way it is. Any softer clutch and it won't hold the power too well.

I hear the Spoon street clutch feels the same as stock on your left leg but has like 30% more clamping force....not first hand though.

The Spoon full-face actually feels slightly lighter than stock and is an excellent sports clutch.

Do NOT get the Exedy hyper single. I strongly recommend against any puck style clutch.

Do some searches you will find that the most successful combinations (street and track) are an aftermarket PP (Mugen, Spoon, ACT, etc.) and OEM FD.

I installed a Star Stage II Clutch about 15,000 miles ago. Petal pressure is the same as stock but the clutch is much stronger. You do have to break it in before you can appreciate how will it works.

I have spoon PP and spoon full face disk with spoon flywheel.
Great street set up. I coudlnt tell any difference between stock setup and spoon set up in terms of pedal heavyness.

Spoons grabs little harder and with lighter flywheel, it requires little more attension to drive around heavy traffic but you still can drive very smoothly without compromising drivability.

but my mechanics stalls everytime
