Default Not a whole lot... little stiffer pedal, little harder bite...

but then again i've only ever driven one RS4 clutched car... and it was a super short distance.

Not a whole lot...the catch point is way lower...mailnly because it is a new clutch. They are a bit more of a heavy duty clutch so it can withstand a bit more abuse...other than that nothing. Except that you can now say you have an RS4 clutch in your car. BTW get your flywheel resurfaced!

Default My clutch is going and I will get a new flywheel and labor under warranty.

I pay for the RS4 clutch and put the new stocker on ebay and classifieds.

Is it worth it for $500 to get a RS4 clutch?

Default actually i have driven rs4 and a worn stock back to back (not bad, just normal 30k mile use)

and the rs4 is deffinately stiffer, catches sooner, and grabs harder....not a huge difference, but there is a difference...
