I just wanted to deliver some first hand impressions of my new clutch. Now, I realize I'm only several hundred miles into using it, but thus far, this thing is REALLY nice.

Granted, it only uses a slightly better than stock pressure plate, but coupled with a 6 puck spring ceramic disk, the clutch REALLY grips! I absolutely love it thus far. I've had it on several spirited runs over 15 psi, and the clutch just burns up the tires. It's not a big fan or riding the clutch on slow reverses or during stop and very slow traffic, as it will shudder some. But I've heard all of that is very normal.

In any case, given that this clutch is a fraction of the price for a Clutchmasters Stage 4, and holding the power I want, I can't be any more pleased! Clutch Dynamics is the way to go guys!

Major props to both Matt's for the hookup with this guy! The major message I would send out to everyone about clutch is, there isn't any magic about a particular brand. All there is to clutches is a disc and a pressure plate, with the flywheel being standard. Ceramic is ceramic, and kevlar is fevlar, while organic is organic...don't get pulled into the name game! Get yourself a ceramic pucked disk with a decent pressure plate and go to town!

I'd be curious as to what a Stage 4 CM's pressure plate would do on a plate loader and see what their pressure plate is rated at. (I hear that Spec's Stage 3 pressure plate is only rated about 10% higher than stock.)
