ITs a bit stiffer than the regular ACT/CM stiff clutches. Coming off the line is REALLY On/Off, when it engages its full and comes on really quickly.... Hard to come off line civil...

Yeah, I know the feeling man.

Powerful stuff you got there.


One thing to say about it really.
You will get used to it, but if you are thinking of making it a traffic jam tool, just think again.
If not, this clutch is one of the best you can ever have for track use and not only. thumbs up from me.

Getting any better? I thought for sure this clutch would have better drivability than the more popular 6 puck options.

IT felt a bit better yesterday, but once warm, it felt really ON/OFF again. I'm going to say it will get better with break in, but how much better, I can't tell yet.

Well with how often you drive it, break in could take till the end of the year . Turn the boost down and take that baby on a nice road trip.

Later on definitely yes. Right now I don't trust stock motor/turbo to track it.
