My Stage 3 carbon is 10 times better than the stock clutch. I have an '02, and just did the drill mod when I installed mine. Great investment!

I have about 25k on my stage 3 kevlar. It is very crisp and is holding great. I haven't run anything but street tires at the track though.

The kit comes with a green shim. It installs under the slave cylinder. Make sure you have one of these with your clutch. If you don't, call SPEC.
