Default Stage 2 SPEC clutch feel

I recently baught a SPEC stage 2 clutch and had it installed by a local speed shop. I was under the impression that a stage 2 clutch would be stiffer than the stock clutch but now that i have the car back it dosent feel any stiffer. So my question is shoud it be stiff? and if so should it be right away that i feel this or after a break in time?

My Spec stg 3 feels barely stiffer than stock. I wouldn't be worried about it.

My spec stage 2 is quite a bit stiffer than stock but replacing the qaudrant works? Is that a good idea? I don't know too much about clutches/flywheels. I did enough research to know I wanted the spec but ya. Thanks.
