The downfall of a Kevlar clutch. With organic you are good to go ASAP.

Alright here is my understanding of how clutchs work If you have a Kevlar or Ceramic disc you MUST wear the disc in because it actually cuts into the flywheel. As for stock clutchs like the RS4 its a Organic material like a brakepad I don't there any breakin is needed. Any comments?
