As of right now, we will see how well the masters and slaves will be holding up with our setup. If there is an issue that causes them to fail because of aftermarket clutches we will investigate it and do what we can to come up with a solution. Luckily our pressure plates do not demand a tremendous amount of pressure to release helping take the load off the hydraulic system. There was never a proper solution to the slave bearing & assembly out there until now.

I also want to double check whether the upgraded CSC is included with the price. Thanks! :tup:

personally I would love to see a upgraded master and slaves made. Mainly for the simple fact peace of mind. these cars are still fairly new and the age of upgrading the clutch is coming, and it is going to get big. Alot of people are already showing interest in upgrading them but are compelled to wait due to the issues others have had. We all know the problem exist and we know there is a demand for it so why not make it and add it as a optional package?

I must say though they look great, you would have my attention and wallet open if there was a replacement for the parts that have failed on others cars from upgrading.

Pros you wont EVER have to worry about clutch not being able to hold the power even if fully built for N/A power, Drifting, Drag racing, No clutch chatter, light weight and easy on the trans.

Cons: Overkill for N/A Daily Driven power and slightly shorter life span due to puck clutch instead of full face.

if you really plan to just daily the car get the Sport Street you will absolutely love it I guarantee it. if you plan to track the car or have spirited driving from time to time, I would recommend the Sport 6-puck.

wait...Is this fix just a ring over csc or a full metal replacement of the csc? If it is just a ring over the csc, technically the problem is still not solved. You just bought more time for the ticking bomb.

After reading this thread it seems that the upgraded bearing that you have created may be the key answer to all the other issues that other Aftermarket Clutch maunfactures were encountering with the whole CSC issue...it looks very promising, but like toner123 posted...I am one of those that are still on the fence because of all the issues other aftermarket clutches have had concerning the CSC...

Please do not get me wrong...this clutch system seems to have all the right answers...and if all goes well with future reviews, I will oin toner123 in opening up my wallet to acquire one...The price is reasonable...especially if no problems are encontered...however with the way the economy is right now, I would find it very difficult to cope with spending that kind of money and face the same issue that other aftermarket clutches have faced conerning the CSC.

I was reading your first l post with the introductory purchase and did not see this listed as one of the parts with the combo package...Can we get a break down and some pics of the upgraded CSC that your company manufactures?

Seb@SZ 08-13-2010 10:40 AM

It's not just a ring but a replacement of the complete bearing and sleeve the bearing goes over and seal presses into.

You can see a picture of it below the factory installed unit. For those on the fence worried about the rest of the hydraulic system giving out you can wait and see what happens to see how things play out.

I haven't read the whole thread just the first post. Am I correct in believing that the SZ bearing means that you won't need an aftermarket CSC (which currently doesn't exist)?

I think your product and pricing look good but Killer Bee and a few others have documented the weakness in the CSC. Not to start an argument but your response means that the purchaser of this clutch is assuming a lot of risk. I appreciate your confidence in your product, but that won't cover the bill for a new CSC.

Well, we've done something no one has at this point. We've replaced part of the factory CSC. People will need upgraded clutches and if required we will do what we can if our version of the modified CSC fails.

well i put my first track event on it last night. local time attack here at AMP did the first 2 sessions (2 hours) and it felt great no problems yet, drifting tomorrow, and maybe some tonight as well.

Bardabe 08-28-2010 06:02 PM

Just clocked in 1000 miles last night, so car absolutely no problems clutch grabs just as hard as it did when it was new. it has 4 street drift sessions, 1 time attack session, and all the daily driving and stop and go traffic LA, and Riverside have to offer.
