It's great as long as you have the master cylinder adjusted and bled properly. You don't want more than 1" of play before feeling the resistance. Talk to Joe@ZSpeed as he provided valuable advice for the bleed procedure. He recommends cracking open the hard line to the master cylinder to release trapped air before bleeding the CSC.

My engagement point and pedal pressure has been consistent for the past few months regardless of temperature. Before it was all over the place.

i thought i read the master cylinder wasnt up to the task once you installed the upgraded CSC. i read it wrong, all you need to do is bleed it properly.

16,500 miles on my ZSpeed CSC, no problems or failures. Used with OSGiken twin disk in a daily driver twin turbo car.

The bleeding isnt fun... but ill gladly take the nightmare of getting my clutch system bled when switching CSCs, versus having to tow my lowered car with a front lip back to the shop after breaking down in traffic!
