Default Wrong clutch install ? D16 preasure plate fin problem? HELP

Just installed a clutch/flywheel/preasure plate all BRAND new on MY D16.

I have never seen the fins STRAIGHT< my question is that normal ??





^-look at this picture, u c how the preasure plate fins have a light angle/bend to them ??

Well mine is straight up and down, ? would it mabey being stage 1 have any effect ? is this wright or wrong install ?

Thanks

I think it should be fine, as long as they are all even with each other. What brand did you go with btw? Good luck with the install.

You do understand those springs get flush when you bolt it down...

Yep, when you start tightening up the pressure plate bolts the fingers flaten out.
