Default ACT XTSS clutch breakin question

so after 5 days and 300 miles the clutch seems to be softening up a little more. It is still engaging pretty hard, but I havent been slamming gears nor have i taken it past 5,500 rpms. This is the first REAL performance clutch I have ever had install in any car I have owned. I am almost positive that this is normal for break in but Im just double checking. Thanks!

only performance clutch experience i have is when i put a spec stage 2 clutch in my 240sx, and breakin was little different from yours. at first my pedal feel was extremly soft, then began to stiffen w/ mileage. but this is 2 different cars and clutches

My HD pressure plate was like that too. The first time I let the clutch out, I damn near **** my pants. After driving on it for a day or two, it softened up and I got more used to it.
