Default how to tell if your car has a stock clutch?

I am the 4th owner of the car and the previous owner wasn't sure if the car had a stock clutch. I drove a friend's AP1 with 4 or 6 puck ACT clutch with fidanza fw and his clutch pedal felt a lot lighter and smoother than mine supposedly stock clutch. Even my friend's Supra TT clutch felt lighter to disengage and engage.

My clutch bites hard and it can be rough to smooth out the acceleration.

Look through the slave boot on the side of the trans.

Non-painted silver is oem.

Every aftermarket PP I have seen was painted.

If the PP is painted it's aftermarket.

Clutchmasters are usually white, ACT's are yellow.
