Default Pressure Plate Help

I am getting a new clutch fitted to my 98 WRX next week and am not sure what lbs pressure plate to get, 2000 lbs or 2800 lbs.

The car is basically stock apart from exhaust and airfilter so i don't need anything too extreme.

I also dont want to have to have thighs like Arnie to be able to depress the clutch.

Just wondering what most people go for when upgrading and what works best.

Many Thanks

Darren

is your 98 wrx a push or pull type?
i have 2800lb in my 03 sti, 6 spd... feels the same as standard.. pull type clutch
makes no difference really...
push type, 2800lb, you'll get used to it, may walk a little lop sided, hahaha
even the legs out, try clutchin with right leg... he he he
