Default Aftermarket clutches rattle?

My factory clutch has always rattled when letting the pedal out with very little accelerator applied. It also rattles some in neutral, but not nearly has loud as when it's engaging.

For those with aftermarket clutches like spec, did this rattle get worse, the same or better = less?

Never heard a rattle from my GT. I have an 03 V6 and the clutch rattles quite a bit. I heard that was a problem with that year. You may have a bearing problem. If still under warranty, take it back.

Well that's easier said than done. At the very least i'd have to put my stock driveshaft back in.

I'll just change my clutch to a spec stage 2 and replace the bearing.
