    Second that question

    Thanks Ur, I had been planning to ask the same question but you beat me to it. Any input from those with 6mt RS6's would be greatly appreciated!

    I'm friends with Dave at South Bend. SB makes great clutches and he has told me he can make just about any kind of clutch I want for my 6 spd swap eventually. The team I shoot for in Pirelli World Challenge use SB clutches and they've been virtually faultless. Their street clutches are made well also. A good friend of mine had an off brand racing 6 puck clutch in his 350z and it was virtually undriveable on the street. You either do a brief burnout leaving a light or you stall it. He swapped in a similar SB clutch last year and it made a world of difference.

    Interesting. I hadn't heard of a South Bend clutch that held the power AND was drivable. I seem to recall speaking to somone at South Bend and they told me that I needed a pucked or multidisk clutch to hold 700 ft/lbs. That was unacceptable to me, as I know how they drive.
    I went with the Spec Stage 3+. It was chattery at first, which I expected, but after about a 600-800 mile break in, it it great, and holds the power/TQ. I have over 2500 miles on it now as well as a bunch of dyno runs and it's good.
