Default Adjustable MC mandatory?

Im going to be using an aftermarket clutch (single) and wondering if it is absolutely necessary to have the adjustable MC? On my other Z, I used the older version Monster level 3.5 with Tick Adjustable MC. Just wondering how many of you guys are actually using them without peddle stick issues up top. thanks!

My main thing is not killing my leg with a stiff *** clutch. My previous clutch with Tick MC was stupid stiff. Any recommendations?

My guess & only a guess based on reading the thousands of clutch posts.

I did not want to run an aftermarket MC as you have described, I choose the RPS carbon twin lite......kinda pricey, but works.

For the same result in a different brand, single disc, the Mantic looks like an option to explore.

Thats what I've been considering but wonder how it will do with stock hydraulics. I can't do that stupid stiff peddle again. In Tampa rush hour traffic, its too much.

I'm pretty sure that's the clutch not MC causing the increased pressure. You probably want a twin disc like McLeod or RPS since the pressure isn't much great. I don't think swapping a Tick MC over stock should increase pressure.
