Evan, I found measuring your oe disk to have a larger amount of clearance then I did with your stage 2 disk. As well I found ACT and Clutch Masters disks to be much closer to the factory disk then your stage 2 disk. As well Your plate pressure feels much lighter then the other clutches I have installed, clutch hydraulics I do not feel comes into play. The exedy staged clutches are the only clutch I have had this issue with, I have installed multiple clutch kits on this platform. I will say I have not installed spec, and we do not support comp clutches.

Unfortunately, for me at least, it seems to surround the kit it self. I wish this was not the case as I initially really liked the pedal effort and the way the kit grabbed. I also prefer getting parts from oe suppliers as they typically have better quality behind them. But if I supply a part, I stand behind it, and I have now had the transmission out of one car a minimum 3 times with this clutch kit. This is the only one out of the other manufactures we have installed that has this issue. That cost me time that could have been spent working on another car. Either way it is on the way back for inspection, and I will have this transmission out of this car for the fourth time after that is resolved.
