I believe its the other way around. And it depends on the disk material, and if the disk is sprung or unsprung. unsprung is generally more difficult for daily driving. most clutch kits are generally rated in ft/lbs, and generally the higher the ft/lbs, the more difficult it will be for daily driving because it will likely be harder to "slip" the clutch, as when trying to go from a complete stop (stop sign, stop lights, etc).

I run the ACT HDSS with a Fidanza 7.5lb flywheel and it's totally fine. It's also very streetable since the full face disc allows you to slip it a bit and it has more modulation. I'm quite satisfied with it.

However, some peeps prefer a stiffer pedal feel and a quicker engagement; or disengagement I suppose.

To each his own I guess..............

Same review (stock flywheel still though)

Only bad thing... sometimes in constant stop/go it feels like the engagement point changes and becomes longer if that makes since.

Not all the time but most constant stop/go times.

That is a placebo affect. If anything, you gained power by loosing rotational mass.

Do most clutches have some sort of marking on them denoting brand and/or type? I like the clutch I have on my car now, but the previous owner didn't remember what brand or type of clutch it was.
