Anyone running a SouthBend OFE Stage 3 clutch?

If so, what are your opinions of it vs. stock? I am not going to go BT so I think I'll be fine with the Stage 3.

go stage 4 .. or something... i forgot it's a southbend though

bought it from brian@ avalon motorsports... great price + new flywheel..

the clutch is fvcking amazing! I love it in so many ways.. remains very "stock feeling" with a lower engagement point. Not at all harsh.. has handleded a couple of solid launches very well

I had what would be considered Stage 3, I think, in my A4 w/ K04 and PC-16...

it still slipped when I launched it :-/

Awesome product otherwise. Stage 4 should fix that.

The one that I am looking at is the OFE-SS Stage 3....how do you like that GIAC software BTW?

Apparently its good to 350 ft-lbs of torque, so I think it would have me covered. I don't track my car or anything, and as I said before I'm not gonna go BT.
