Ah.

Less pieces and a bit easier to install... that's about it, everything else is the same.

I have a stage 3, and I am very happy with it so far. Good street manors and excellant grip. 4000rpm launches on M/T's with no clutch slippage or hard pedal. I could not hot lap before with my stock clutch because the car just wouldn't shift. I have beat the hell out of this clutch, and no problems so far. That was after a 550 mile highway breakin on the way home from FW. SNL installed it for me, and Steve knows his ****. Their customer service it top notch, and so are their parts. I will definitely be going back to them for any work that I can't do myself.

To clarify;

He actually drove down here and back to Kansas, he then put an additional 500 miles on the clutch to break it in. The whole point of the break in is to heat cycle the material, a long trip will not do it alone.

Yeah, it was that far back home, then a week of around town driving before my first day at the track. I know that highway driving is not really the way to break one in right, but I didn't have the time (nor the patience) to put 500 miles on it in DFW traffic before coming home. Have not had a single problem out of it either.

How long is the holiday sale going on? Looking at picking up a stage 2. I only make 440 to wheels, and it's really more of a daily driver than a track car. I MIGHT see a track once or twice a year now, if that.

It's now till the end of the year.

We mainly did the sale to get our product out in this community, and also to help out our holiday shoppers.
