i have a stage 3 segmented kevlar from clutch masters with a lightweight flywheel with less then 6000 miles on it held power great and had like oem pedal feel. I upgraded to a m3 tranny so i have it for sale for cheap! pm me if ya want it.

A new OEM clutch should last you well over 100k miles. Unless you have a real need (ie, you have a heavily modified motor), a stock clutch and flywheel are your best bet.

Is that the same one you sold over the summer?
