Stock rear for me too, although I've been talking with Midwest and am ordering a S60 tomorrow so I can throw on some 345 Drag Radials without fear. All I'm waiting for is this damn clutch! My T56 is gonna hate me!

I could so see that! I've seen a laundry list of "Monster killed my 10-Bolt" threads. I'm nervous I'm going to be the first one with the "Monster killed my T56" thread! Oh the agony!!!

What's the release time on these?

I'm tired of replacing clutch after clutch even though they should hold.

I asked if the power ratings are at the rear tires, or the flywheel, he said "at the wheels in a 4000 lb car".
I asked if he thinks the Twin ceramic setup is "right" for my setup, which I explained to him, and won't explain here until it's done, he said yes.

Everything I've heard from other people, is their single disc setups are great, and they're great to deal with...so I have no reason not to believe everything I've been told about these new twin discs...and as such, my mind is made up on running one of these in my car.

Don't know...and long as it's before spring, don't care either. I don't want to waste half of the warranty watching it sit on a shelf before the end of March 2011...I expect the engine to be done before then, but I'm not driving it in the snow lol.

What makes these clutches specifically different than other pieces already on the market? I have a McLeod RST twin disk sitting in the box in my room with and aluminum flywheel in another box next to it.
