Default Thanks Gramps. How much does the CM4 run? I'm just afraid of breaking things...

I appreciate having the clutch as a fuse.

Default You're killing me, bud.

I'm so freakin' torn now. How did the CM3 grip on launch?

Default As a former RS4 clutch owner i'd recommend the CM, not sure what stage will make you happy, I went

stage 3 for driveability. Its really amazing how light and smooth the pedal feel is, but I've yet to smell/glaze/or burn anything with it. With the RS4 I was always nervous between the SAC and its distaste for heat. If you've ever glazed, heated it you'll know what I mean. That always made me a bit nervous. I'd replace the fork arm if you've got high miles to boot. My arms divot was just a mm or 2 bigger from the first failure and it wreaked havoc on my car. They're cheap insurance imo, although if someone told me this i'd think they're crazy.

Default Thanks man, very useful post. The CM3 is on the top of my list.

You have any input as far as how it holds during launching?

Default sorry that i cant tell you, i have never launch the car! lol i know i suck

the only reason why i went with stage 4 is because of the disk, i had some coolant got into the clutch and it somewhat soaked onto the kevlar disk! damn it!

the bright side is i like the 8 puck disk over the kevlar disk hehe like it said from the previous reply, no vibration, very easy to drive but it is a bit grabbier then stage 3
