Default RS4 if you don't launch/drag and don't plan on going to uber-Stage3

but my RS4 clutch is slipping w/o drag/launching on my 100oct program.

Default I don't really plan on launching ever, but I'd be curious about strip times

If i do 'race' other cars I prefer from a roll.
Is the rs4 clutch good for some launching, or pretyy much none at all?

As for the uberstage 3, whats your definition of this, fueling? I wouldn't go fueling for a long while.

Southbend OFE is an option to consider

Default Kevlar if you want smooth, Ceramic if you launch and race. I have the RS4 pp with Ceramic disc ...

from VAST and I can tell you that this is very smooth but has alot of bite when you shift hard.

You ca do repeated races without it losing bite. Kevlar heats up and begins to slip moreso.

Make certain you get a resurfaced stock flywheel from VAST at the same time b/c it is vital to the smoothness of the assembly.

Default I have to say; two VAST clutches installed now and they both are NOT smooth in the

slightest, unless you drop the clutch quickly. Feeding them in just jumps the car around like a UHaul truck. Seriously consider the Southbend OFE that Hogothorpe recommended.
