He had me at 'dust boot'

I'm sure they both work fine. I'm just using the OEM one until I get my clutch problem fixed.. then I'll swap it again.

I flicked a booger in yours while you weren't looking.

Well, looky there! I guess it is a little bit shorter outboard of the mounting holes. Meh. It's fine.

I was wrapping up at work. Now that I took a second look at home on the couch, I can see the difference. Guess I was the one fixated on the dust boot.

So I've been living under a rock and spent the last 5 years driving my car with a stock unadjusted clutch...

Until I found this thread when I started looking for reasons why my clutch was squeaking recently (fork needed to be greased)

After reading the original post in this thread I recalled how all of my non brz/frs-owning friends that had driven my car always complained about how awful the clutch was. I immediately ordered an OEM Subaru 3/4" clutch slave cylinder and stainless clutch line.

I installed the parts, flushed the fluid and bled all the air out, and also adjusted my clutch pedal closer to the floor and I now have an amazing clutch experience. I can finally shift smoothly while feeling whats going on through the pedal. It's soooooooooooo worth doing. Just do it already. Even if you've spent 5 years and 46,000 miles driving on the stock setup like me lmao.

This is bolt on stuff though. It literally took me 5mins.

You picked the correct vehicle. Can't speak to the accuracy of their database but as long as the bore of the cylinder you receive is 3/4", you're good to go.

I recommend against going super cheap. Tolerance/materials/finish all affect service life.

As it looks like it has no cons at all - im going for it!!
2 q's-

1 -The big diff is by changing the cylinder alone,right?
Changing the hydraulic line and/or removing spring is just an extra?
2 after doing that where is the most safe position(to make sure no damage will occur in the long run) for the pedal? 1:1 with the brake pedal height is ok?
