I am wondering how far can I tighten the dry clutch to not do any damage.
Experimenting with my new setup, want to do it safely
I have mcgu with 100mm extension 40+30 spring on each axis, space-S cams and the stick wiggles a bit before it centers.
Is it reasonable to expect similar feel to Gladiator NXT default setup after tightening the clutch or do I need to remove a spring (I feel like the return to the center on Gladiator is more smooth)?
Thanks!

NXT's return to center will always be smoother because the grip is light and short, especially when using an extension on your GF base. You could see how much you tightened the dampers by looking inside the base; when the dampers' springs are completely compressed that's how much you could go.
