UCP - Ultimate Clutch Pedal

Anyone have one of these on their M2? Did it make a big difference?
Do you like it? How does it feel compared to stock?
Pro's/Con's etc.

Lots of threads and posts on the UCP. Shorter pedal travel, better feel (more resistance), lower resting height. Worth it IMO

I searched and found some stuff on the other forums but It would be cool to see a write up/review from an M2 owner.

I have it. It is a worthy upgrade.

It does what it says it does: lower the clutch pedal (nothing more, nothing less). If you use/like the BMS clutchstop, this is a more complete modification (both are good, obviously the price point is a lot different). I have both.

I chose the middle setting (sport), and the feel is still very much like stock. I'm curious to see what the race setting feels like, as I still would prefer to feel the clutch bite (it is still hard to feel it since the clutch is smooth; but the pedal travel is so short, its a non-issue).

Because you have to get under the car to install it, it is almost a must to lift the car - and so I took it to a shop to install (I couldn't DIY it).

I bought the M2 for its handles and feel and this mod does well to improve the drive experience.

I never went under the car installing mine, everything’s between the dash & floor. Still needed to do some contorting.

I tried the race setting, but the feel was weird; it was firmer, which was good, but about half way down it would just drop to the floor (which was bad). I changed to sport setting, which feels perfect.

EDIT: Sorry guys, I was thinking of the short shift kit.

The UCP on the sport setting is noticeably different from stock, for me. Maybe an increase in pedal resistance of about 25-30%--enough to make it feel like you are pushing against a spring...instead of stock, which feels to me like pushing through water. Still not stiff by any means, but a change for the better.

Combine it with an SSK, and happiness is...
