The friction disc of this clutch is sprung, so engagement won't be overly harsh, but it will be a firmer and stiffer than stock, mostly due to the increased force of the pressure plate. We haven't heard too much back on this particular clutch as far as reviews, so it's tough to say. On a scale of 1-10 with 1 being basic maintenance and 10 being a full motor rebuild, a clutch install is about an 8, do how much you need to remove from the car (including the subframe, front axles, and other components), knowledge needed, and strength and patience needed to wrestle the transmission back into the car.
