Single Plate 6 Puck Copper Ceramic Clutch!

Hey forum just need a quick and correct answer about the clutch in the topic. I just fitted that clutch to my car it came with a 2000lbs pressure plate and i fitted a 5.2 kg flywheel as well the same time. The clutch pedal is a bit stiffer and I can barely balance it, what i want to know is if it is normal for the car to shudder as if its going to stall when trying to balance this type of clutch and to hear sort of like grinding noises coming from the clutch. For example when you ease up off the clutch bit by bit to get it rolling, cus I do this in my car and most of the time it shudders hard and I hear the clutch make a grinding sorta of noise. Now if I give it a bit of gas and pop the clutch its all good no noise at all and the tires chirp and the car jumps out, I mean it jumps out reving to like 1200-1500 for a smooth take off, it jumps out without the shudder. The clutch feels as if its on or off but to be honest its not that much stiffer than stock ,I mean once you can deal with the shudder and the grinding noise u can drive in traffic but you guys no in bumper to bumper sometimes you just have to ease up off the clutch to roll forward a bit and when I do that it gets the shakes. Is this normal for this type of clutch and will it eventually wear in or do I have to change my driving style?

Yep sounds about right for that type of clutch ! Also check if your clutch peddal box is ok and the spot welds are holding together. Big poundage pressure plates tend to bust em.
