    Do it yourself, it's not that difficult.

    I also ran the Stage 3+ and liked it alot.
    I think I could smell it slipping on my last ever 5 spd pass though.

    I just ordered a Zoom ZVT clutch today through Ethan at Stage 3. I will say that I loved the way my CF Dual Friction clutch felt/drove, but it just won't hold the power. If you plan on going twin screw and hitting ~600 rwhp you may want to look into something else. Many have good luck with the Spec 3+ I just wanted to give the Zoom a try since i've heard good things about it, it's a very reasonably priced clutch too. I'd look into a 26 spline input shaft as well, the LDC freeplay kit and a head cooling mod wouldn't be a bad addition either.

    Yeah, it's a single disc though. It is Zooms ZVT line of clutches, the stage 3 clutch kit. I like it, the chatter is almost gone. I'm still breaking it in, seems like i've been breaking it in forever, i'm almost there though. It should be broken in by next week. I'm sure it'll hold the power, we will see.

    The pedal feel is light, lighter than the Spec 3+ and the Centerforce Dual Friction. The clutch also engages well and is nice on the street, similar to my Dual Friction.
