What is the pedal effort like with that PP.

Thanks,
About 40-60% stiffer than stock. It does get tiring in rush hour, so when I drive the 951 to work, I try to leave early or late to avoid downtown stop and go traffic hehe.

My mechanic calls me a wimp .

So can anyone with just a cup clutch tell me if the pedal is firmer than stock?

A stock pressure plate with a cup disk can handle a tremendous amount of power and be quite durable so long as you don't abuse it (ie lauching off the line, drage racing, speed shifting, etc...).

I have the KEP 3800# Aluminum pressure plate with the cup disk.
The pedal effort is a little more than stock, so it does not wear your leg out.
I also have a lightened steel flywheel. My car is basically stock, and I noticed faster revving after install.
I had a Centerforce in prior, and it vibrated at 3000 rpm, so out it came.

the original 968 Turbo RS pressure plate cost a lot but it is worth themoney. No vibration but stiff. I would say about twice as stiffer as the cup one.
You can use teh 951 cup disc if you want or a modified disc from the 964 RS. Itis one piece without springs so it will not break the springs due to the overheating

But I do plan to abuse it.

I know that the new pressure plate will cause the pedal to be firmer. I am trying to find out if just the cup clutch disc on a stock pressure plate will make the pedal firmer also.
