I have now installed their stage 4 clutch kit, its meant to have 42% clamping, rated at 370hp.
changing gears is pretty smooth, clutch pedal is not hard to press down..
It took me about an hour getting used to accelerating from 1st gear as it grips pretty hard and I've already stalled the car and spun the wheels by applying too much gas.

grip-force clutches website, Cost $250.

the old OEM exedy clutches that I bought from them lasted about 3-4 years, considering it only cost about $100.

So in short terms.

Great product and buyable cool.gif

good to know for my future V6 smile.gif

THATS THE BEST NEWS I'VE HEARD IN A LONG TIME!!!!!!!!!!! Because I ordered that same stage 4 clutch and its sitting in my room on my floor i'm waiting to put it in and i was a bit worried!!!!!

It drives excellent now, after getting used to the clutch after a day.

please make sure that you use a good reliable mechanic that knows a little bit about turbos.
I initially had trouble after the installation, because after the install.

The mechanic accidentally unplugged the ignition cable and exhaust pipings etc, and I losed acceleration.
It was quickly fixed by my Dyno Tuner.

Now it grips on all gears, and i'm getting more acceleration.
2nd - 5th gear is very responsive.
hopefully this one last 3-5 years.

good to hear, i plan on going with the "stage 3" package deal. clutch kit and flywheel.

HAHA thanks for the heads up but i'm going to be doing all the install myself....i've done ALL the work on my tib i'm a Certified BMW Master tech.. fing02.gif

before changins my clutch the biggest job i have done in my tib was changing the brakes lol ... took me 10 hour to change the clutch ... ain't that bad for a noob cool.gif

I have an XTD Stage III clutch... It has pass a year and the clutch grips like new.... It cost me the exact price.. but as I remember it support over 300HP...

370HP at that price sounds great.... hope to get some feedback about it....
