Some people have been using the Clutchmasters FX700 with decent results. I have this clutch in my M3 which makes 633rwhp. The engagement can be a bit tricky on take off being a twin disc setup, but at this power level, it is difficult to find a clutch without some compromises. The good news is, the FX700 makes very little noise compared to some of the other options out there.

I run this clutch also and it is somewhat of a leg work out the pedal has a decent amount of pressure over stock.

The FX700? Really? I don't find it requires much more leg effort than stock to disengage.

Ive only put about 45 miles on it and drove it about twice since i put the clutch and flywheel in because the oil pump crapped out but i remember it being rather stiff.

i purchased it from bimmerworld as a kit with the lightweight flywheel but i dont think the flywheel would make any difference in pedal pressure.
