Stiffer, but also depends on manufacturer.. but why would you do that?

There are 2 ways to increase clutch capacity..1) Stiffer pressure plate 2) More aggressive/grippier disc.

If you do 1), then the pedal feel will become stiffer, but you may be able to keep the slipability that comes with a street disc.

if you do 2), then the clutch pedal feel won't change, but the disc will be much more on/off in how it grabs.

If you do 1 + 2, it can hold even more, and is both more on/off and stiffer pedal.
