If you REALLY want to endear yourself to the community, put your clutch-minds together and come up with a master cylinder or something that will bring some feel back to the clutch. The stock clutch is WAY too light. Makes my stock STI clutch feel like a hardcore race clutch.

this

the clutches in my 86'es are stiffer than my BRZ

well, im also in contact with ACT.

i can get the BRZ to them by the 30ths... (due to prior arrangements)

but like others have already pointed. a device that reconnects the clutch to the driver will be good.

also perhaps a stronger transmission housing bracket will be good. i've notice some large amplitude vibration coming though the stick shift at some RPM range.

I've owned three aftermarket ACT clutches with lightened flywheels.

2001 Subaru RS turbo
2003 Subaru WRX
2006 Subaru Legacy GT

My only recommendations is don't make the street version of the flywheel too light. Idle hunting and CELs are no fun.

And please, *no chatter*. Can't stand it in a street car.
