Its also a heavy combo.
I replaced mine with Centerforce's new twin and lightweight flywheel, better and smoother engagement, engine revs quicker and no more stalling issue at low speeds, actually bumper to bumper drivability is greatly improved.
As you can gather I am not a fan of the stock clutch, but I also am not staying stock for long so I upgraded.
Here are pics are of the stock clutch and the Centerforce on a scale.

I feel I am the only one this does not make sense to. A heavier flywheel helps in the stalling and lower speed operation concerning a clutch. yes a lighter one will let the engine rev more freely but also not have the same inertia when disengaging the clutch taking off in first gear. One of the down sides to a carbon fiber driveshaft and lightweight clutch. Plus side pick up some hidden horsepower for the top end.
