Default looking to buy a clutch to go in with the stg3... anyone have trouble with the RS4 clutch

Default It depends on your driving style. Talk to Mike at Vast! He's going to ...

do a full Stage 3 for me this weekend.

I asked him numerous questions about the proper clutch and flywheel for my driving style.

He has numerous options in several different budgets. HE'S THE MAN!

I'm stoked knowing I have the exact combo that is perfect for me!

Default like others said, you may or may not be okay. BUT, the $200 insurance policy ...

is definitely worth it, imo. Do you really want to pay to drop the engine and swap out the clutch again? Just do it right the first time and be done with it.

Default Get the vast. I'm having mine installed as we speak. Hopefully I will have some impressions tomorrow

The RS4 *should* hold stage 3 power, but some people have had problems with slipping. My SAC wasn't reset when the RS4 clutch was installed (bought the car that way and then found out later what was wrong). So my RS4 was slipping like crazy. I decided to upgrade to a vast clutch while the tranny was out... just for peace of mind.

lots, when they aren't adjusted right. Couldn't be happier with my Clutchmasters.
