How to stiffen my clutch?

My clutch isn't as stiff as I'd like it and I'm wondering if it's the clutch it's self or something else? I've heard that it may be the pressure plate but I'm not sure

The pressure plate is part of the clutch. Replacing that with a HD one will stiffen it. A JWT Stage 1 would be slightly stiffer.

Do you mean the clutch pedal is too easy to push in? That sure doesn't sound like a typical Z issue. Or, do you mean the clutch is slipping when you engage it? What year is your Z?
