Who has an RS4 clutch with their Stage 3 and how is it holding up with hard launches?

Default Well young pig.....

My RS4 clutch holds just fine. Best way to go, IMO.

I thought so, but didn't want to make the wrong decision because other options cost a wee bit more.

Default Not enough to need a beefier clutch.

I can run 1.6 60's at 4,000 feet with the RS4 clutch. I doubt most stage III setups will need more unless you really beat on clutches.
