JWT is a little bit harder to press down... engagement happens quite a bit quicker then the stock clutch... grabbier...

See... now I think it's WAY lighter.

PM Adam (VandyZ), he is running this setup... and has said the same thing. WAY WAY easier to press in and out that stock.

Yeah I think its lighter . . . but of all the 350s I have drove none have felt the same. Maybe the best thing to say is its too close to call. <lol election humor lol>

One thing is for sure, it is grabby. I love it. If I am daydreaming or whatever at a light I can sometimes still surprise myself . . . hard to stall it but it will jerk to let you know to wake up.

i think it's the one i'm goin with. i figure savin $100 is better than savin 2 lbs with the nismo. plus, if i start sprayin, i want more than enough clampin force.

You will have it! Are you going for a flywheel as well?

I think it's easier to push down. In fact, surprisingly so. I get out of the Viper and drive the Z and damn near push the pedal through the floor. It is very easy to push down and like the others have said, it's pretty grabby when it engages.

I also have the JWT flywheel....love them both.
