Jared, how could you have made that diagnosis without a failure analysis?
I find your explanation to be totally unsatisfactory, and I suspect that everyone else on AW will also.

Did STaSIS give you break-in instructions with the clutch?
I have a Clutch Masters Stage 4 ceramic clutch in my VW R32 turbo. The clutch came with very specific break-in instructions to prevent glazing and erosion of the pressure plate and flywheel...
Once broken in you can really push the clutch but these high performance clutches have a very narrow slip zone, it does take a different driving technique... and they do chatter just to remind you they are there.

Is this how they'll stand behind their coilovers? Was thinking about them when my DRC goes out.
I don't like giving business to those who don't stand behind their products. I'll be watching this to see how it pans out...always two sides to the story I know...
