Default how to break in a clutch properly

i just got a new competition stage 4 clutch with the ultra light flywheel.

what is the proper way to break in the clutch?

i have been driving shifting slowly and under 4k rpm, not riding on the clutch when shifting or on hills.

anything else i should keep in mind or do?

i tried searching but couldnt find anything but i might be bad at searching. any help or advice would be great.

noob question i know

thanks

the clutch petal is as soft or a bit softer than stock. is this normal?

i remember every after market car with a clutch for some reason was always really stiff but they did have ACT clutch not CC.

sorry dont know where to put this. just thought some fellow R members would have my answer.

thanks

Agreed

Just drive it, it'll be fine, not riding the clutch is more of a common since thing, id never do that, not just for 'break-in'

PS...im using their ultra light weight flywheel (8lb) also and LOVE it, couldn't imagine any heavier

2nd gear burnout. if it doesnt hold, not a good clutch.
