Default Stock 2 Clutch on stock 99 civic EX

I'm looking at this car today, and the guy had told me the clutch is really stiff.
I've never driven a stock 2 clutch and am not sure what to expect.
Should I be weary of this?

What is to be wary of s stiff clutch? Why is there a "Stage 2" clutch on it in the first place? Did you test drive it to see how stiff it was first hand? What is the make of the clutch because "stage 2" really doesn't mean anything by itself. And anything other than an OEM replacement clutch on a stock car is useless.

Weary = tired. Wary = cautious.

Not sure why....I haven't test driven, but will be in a couple of hours. And the guy isn't sure of the brand.
I've got a led foot, but I'm not getting the car specifally for racing, It'll be a daily driver.

The car has 155k on it, I'm thinking about grabbing it for 1350.

Based on my knowledge of this car, it definitely has a stage 8 clutch on it. Transform and roll out.

A stage 2 clutch is a weird thing to put on a stock car. But...ricers gon rice.

Things to be weary of:
Stiff clutch means stiff springs means extra wear on thrust bearings. Use a clutch bypass switch to start the car. Do not leave the clutch depressed for longer than you need to. Push it. Select a gear. let it go. Don't hold it in at stoplights or to anticipate a start.
