Default New clutch feels soft?

After bleeding the new clutch yesterday it is significantly easier to disengage than my old one.. Should I be worried about this? I had my dad disengage and engage the clutch while I was underneath the car spinning the torque tube to see if it was correctly grabbing and it is (Trans is out). The clutch I pulled doesn't look like the OEM rubber center one either. I replaced it with the sachs one on Ebay that was $610. Know anything about it? I couldnt find any reviews.

This is what I ordered. -> http://www.ebay.com/itm/86-87-88-89-...637b7f&vxp=mtr

951s had spring centered clutches from the factory, only NAs came with rubber centered. If it's engaging and disengaging correctly I wouldn't worry about it. The stiffness properties of the steel are probably just different.

Post a picture of old pressure plate. If the difference is significant your old one is probably aftermarket unit.

This is the only photo I have of my old pressure plate. It also properly shows how I've felt about this entire process.
