Where did you obtain this data?
I put a 2ft long 2x4 on the clutch pedal, put a digital scale on the other end, sat down and pushed on the scale. Did it 3-4 times for each car. The ts2 car (uuc clutch) measured more irratic. I think after 40k miles the clutch pedal bushings we’re wearing. Got measurements from 62-68ish.
So not perfectly scientific, but more imperial data than internet “hear-say” of a “heavy” clutch.
I’ve logged nearly 200k miles in 3 ZHP‘s, spun lots of wrenches and had some dedicated track cars. my tastes have changed as I’ve gotten old…….. so not sure my opinion is of any benefit.

+1. Not many people would go that far so it's appreciated! Have you driven the clutch masters? The stock one is undoubtedly light but 46lbs with your data is a near 2x increase in pressure. Do you think it is good for a daily?
Yes, Ive logged 30k on the clutchmaster. I initially thought it was great, but fell out of love with it as I got older. Back in my youthful days I daily drove an s54e30m track car on 900# springs...... back then it would have been perfect. But now im getting old and think its "a little too heavy." My cushey 340i clutch is xxx#, so personal preference would be somewhere in the middle.
Now, the uuc, I hope you do your weekly squats. But great on the track.
ps. I broke springs in both the uuc and clutchmaster sprung hubs within the first 5k miles.

That's understandable. I don't think I would like a clutch that made me feel that way either. Happy to hear you have a B58 manual. Those things are insane. Can I ask what you think of the shifter? I'm half contemplating one myself.
