I'd contact luk...
to be honest it's probably a stock pressure plate.
Yeah most of our clutches come with stock pressure plates. We honestly dont need any more clamping force until we make lots of power.

me and paul were curious about this when he got his new clutchmaster's clutch this spring and contacted them about it...
they said it is in-fact a stocker but they do modify it some... apparently they weld some piece underneath the surface to make it stronger or something. idk... paul did confirm that they had done some modifications to it though versus an actual stocker...
Strange so many people have had issues with Spec clutches then, Luk is the best clutch manufacture out there IMO.
Bully uses modified Daikin/Exedy pressure plates (In my cause an OEM replacement, since thats what I ordered) and I have the bull@!#$ "My clutch engages whenever it feels like on the pedal travel" issue most people have reported when using the Spec clutches.
I even got the pot depth on the flywheel resurfaced as per Exedy's instructions *sad face
The issue from spec clutches is normally the terrible friction disk.

I plan on contacting them. I origionally purchased a new spec2 and flywheel new off a member dirt cheap, so I upgraded before going with the supercharger. I remember reading an article can't remember if it was hotrod or carcraft where they covered clutches. I was suprised that just a change in the materials in the friction disc can make such a big improvement in clamping power with a stock pressure plate alone. It was a good read, but like I said, I forgot about these pics. It's been about a year and a half from when I snapped these pics.
Friction disk material does make a huge difference, my clutch now is a stock pressure plate with a 6-puck Bully disk and it grabs like a son of bitch.
Almost all the aftermarket "performance" pressure plates are just modified OEM replacements.
Just another funny thing. I bought the sachs clutch kit to use with my act friction disk and funny thing, the sachs friction disk says exedy on it.
