CM stage 3 or Vast ceramic hybrid..
I am getting all parts together for stage 3. Which one should I go with between the CM stage 3 or Vast ceramic hybrid? Need to order soon and I will probably be running at the track so I need something that will take the abuse/high rpm launches and not let go on me. I was also hearing about South Bend clutches.. more info would be great. BTW , I will be using stock FW. TIA

I'm using stock FW + VAST Ceramic....
it's a great clutch for street use, and excellent at the track (road courses). However if I was dragging the car on the 1/4 mile, I'd go for something stronger. I've been able to make the ceramic slip a few times by not dropping fast enough/too many RPM's.
For my uses, it's the perfect clutch and I'd buy it again in a heartbeat.

South Bend by far...CM feels like a Honda clutch to me. Not enough feedback. SB
feels like stock but holds great. And I track the my car and am hard on the clutch. My wife drives it to work ALL the time and has never complained. Not a fan of the Vast either as it the release is TOO sudden for my taste.

Tony, if you are going for heavy launches and high hp applications, the SB Kevlar/FEramic disc...
would be awesome as opposed to the FE/FE. You could also try out the brand new set up with the Sachs racing pp, that will put you in a whole other ball game. That might be overkill though. You're not stg 3 yet are you?
