Default Any tuners have an RS4 clutch in stock?

Going to take my car to the dealer next week for rear main seal & cam intake gasket replacement under warranty. Mechanic is willing to put an aftermarket clutch in, and I will most likely go with the RS4 clutch, possible LWFW. I am leaning towards the ECS setup, but it is currently backordered. They estimate availabilty next week, but I have heard the "2 weeks" story too many times from other tuners, so I need to keep my options open. Any comments on the RS4 clutch would also be appreciated.

Car is Stage 2+, with no definite plans for stage 3. Daily driver, some track (5-7 per year, road courses only).

Good idea, Craig. RS4 sounds like exactly what you need.

Default I'm very happy with mine...

It actuates a bit different then the stocker, the pedal feel isn't "linear" it gets slightly heavier halfway through its travel and then lighter again. This isn't readily apparent, I guess I'm just really sensitive.

It grips nicely, offering superb control. I've abused it numerous times at the dragstip with no problems. I use the OE flywheel.

Given my ability to smoke all 4 instead of the clutch at the track and my 1320 / 60' times, it's definitely optimal for my setup.

Default Exept for the pedal feel I aggree with Mike, my car is stage 2

and many times I have spun all 4 tires and not spun the clutch. Its great for our setup, I'd definitely recommend it.

Ps. I have abused it several times, and it still comes back for some more.
