Default twin disc clutch question

I just put a Carbonetics twin disc clutch on my b18c5 with a brand new tranny. I'm not familliar with the pedal feel of this type of clutch and it feels completely diffrent than the stock clutch. As I expected its much stiffer but it does not have that softer feeling toward the end of the travel. I put the throw out bearing in that came with it which is wider, pushing the throw out lever further towards the slave cylinder. So my question is how should it feel, does this sound typical for a twin disc?

the clutch seems to work fine other wise and the throw out lever moves with the slightest bit of pedal movement so i'm pretty sure the system is bled well. I just want to make sure I'm not going to wear out my new expensive clutch for any reason.

different clutch manufacturers design the pedal curve (diaphragm effort) differently. Or in some cases dont design the pedal curve at all... A lot of them dont really care what the pedal feels like.
I wouldnt worry about it... that sounds like its normal for their stuff, from what I hear.

Twin Disc clutches don't always have to chatter. I have an OS Giken twin in my Skyline and it's fine. Drove an RPS Carbon/Carbon supra that doesn't chatter, and a buddy of mine has an Ogura Quadruple plate clutch in his GTR that doesn't chatter
