ACT street setup clutch installed(smile)

Well being the first time installing a clutch, it took a very good amount of time, most of the day to be exact. It was a very good learning experience though and i enjoyed it much. To begin with my impressions, u can't say that much since im breaking it in right now, but i have the chatter on the take off which isnt half as bad as i thought it would be. it just vibrates a little bit. The thing that i love the most is the bmw feel that the clutch has now, 1/4 of the way up the clutch sorta pushes itself up towards you like in bimmers. I'm guessing thats becuz of the strong pressure plate setup. It instantly engages and feels so smoothe. I cant wait to open it up for real and feel its grip, but so far, even in the break in period, im very happy, within hours some of the chatter has come down, but you have to teach urself how to launch it smoothely all over again which makes it even more fun. questions welcome
