When I got it, it was super stiff, but more so than was comfortable to use. I looked online and it's expected, but it gets softer after a while. I can confirm that just 2 weeks after starting to use the performance kit, it's already gotten a bit softer.

One thing I'll note though, I don't have a cockpit, I screw my pedals onto a wooden block which I've connected to my desk to keep them from moving. I also have a chair which has wheels. The amount of force necessary to drive properly is a bit more than what my home-made setup can handle, which is a bit frustrating.

So basically, the performance kit does its job perfectly, but I'd recommend either a really sturdy home-made setup, or a cockpit for this. The stiffness does get a bit softer with use over time and it seems to be getting to a more comfortable state.

My only wish is that, although a niche issue, I'd prefer it being easier/quicker to remove and put back. Sometimes I want to play more chill driving games and don't want to be using so much force - like American Truck simulator or driving different types of road cars. When it comes to hotlapping or racing though, there is no way I'd drive without the performance kit anymore.

knocked 7 seconds off laps go figure had tutored session to get the most out of upgrade with trail braking focus for ACC worth it if you cant afford the load sensor upgrade pedals

Make a difference to the standard pedals. Should be included in the bundle really. Expensive for what it is really, but quality part

Makes a big difference .
Good product. Pricey for what it is but does what it says it will do.

Provides a much firmer brake pedal than the standard
