Default ACT clutch experiences?

It's getting near clutch change time on my 03 STi and as it's running just short of 400lbft am considering an ACT. (SB4-HDSS HD organic WRX STI EJ20 02-05 V8-9 JDM)
I'm wondering who's running this particular unit in their 6-speed and what the findings are eg smoothness, pedal pressure, feel etc.
They're not cheap so I need to be sure!

No idea but I can't get hold of one for mine until the end of April which is a bit of a problem hence I've gone for a competition Clutch

I have had two types of ACT clutch in my car both have had the heavy duty pressure plate but the 1st one was rated to 550lbs and that was quite easy to drive with light pedal feel the second was the 6 puck type rated to 760lbs and that was a but heavier feel and you had to rev the engine a little more when driving off or the revs would drop and stall the engine. Bit of a pain in standing traffic but easy to get used to.

I enquired at Apex (see Bren@Apex on here) and he confirmed as a dealer, although he didn't say if all models were in stock.
