Default Kevlar Clutch Disc lost a rivet and the carnage~

<center><img src="http://images.kodakgallery.com/photos4216/5/44/92/97/45/7/745979244503_0_ALB.jpg"></center><p>New to me Stage III with Kevlar disc and RS4 PP. Suspected improper break in but I will never know.

Have a RS4 with Organic Disc on the way. Mike at Vast is the man as usual and I should have my new clutch by the weekend.

Default #1) that is a manufacturing defect ! no rivets should come out no matter what how u "break it in"

#2) i would NOT put an RS4 piece in there .. bc it's just a stock friction disc (rs4 is just the pp) and it will not hold a lot of power (ASP stg 3 here and my rs4 started to slip again as it got cooler outside) so get your self another friction disc other than stock (full feramic maybe).
my 1 cent.<ul><li><a href="http://images.kodakgallery.com/photos4216/5/44/92/97/45/7/745979244503_0_ALB.jpg">link to pic directly .</a></li></ul>

Should have went with something stronger than RS4 like ASP Stage 4 clutch. RS4 PP + Full Feramic FTW

Default No real plans to drag the car, I wanted a reliable car that I could take to the track

and that would last. There are plenty running my new setup that are much harder on there cars than I am. Hopefully I should be good to go~
