My first clutch in my miata was a dual friction centerforce. It was great for stock & ok when I ran ~8psi with the GReddy kit. I'm running the 307ft-lb ACT setup for 6 or so years now with no issues.

I went to mexico and rented a VW Polo stick. I stalled like 5 times before we got going, then came home and stalled my car 5 times before I left the garage.
But in all seriousness, you forget the weight after 2 days tops. It just becomes second nature so quickly and then you wonder how the hell you drove a lighter clutch. I have better clutch control with a heavier pedal then a lighter one.

I used the CF clutch for a while. It was probably the best engaing clutch I've ever run. However, there are two things to consider:
It had shitty clamping force with clutch dumps, the clutch could slip easily. This is the same in my Altima with a CF clutch. It's due to the design of the weighed diaphragm system, they don't hold as much torque without high rpms forcing the weights outward.
Second, due to the friction material one one side of the clutch disc, you have to be really careful when torquing it down. I pulled mine because it would slip when it was cold out (running around 200rwtq). When I pulled it, I found that the PP wasn't torqued evenly and I had a hot spot on the PP.
Running an ACT HD 6-puck setup now. I'd really like to try an FM Stage I kit.
