I have the carbon disk. It is a little noisy though, espescially in the morning. It squeaks if you let it out slow. However, I launched my formula today from a 4K clutch dump on 100 Shot and nittos and the the clutch held up great. Went 12.1 on the 1st run, no slippage(viper in the rear view <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> ). 2nd run my car never left the line. the nittos grabbed and so did the clutch. Too much for the rear I guess. Had to call the tow truck.

SORRY to hear that about your rear!! But in the other hand makes me glad that I went to the Spec stage III ceramic as well. I got the rear thing covered with a Strange 12 bolt super strength posi unit and all the other goodies. What was your previous time's on the other clutch? Did it improve with this unit?
Good luck
