If the vendor truly balances the assembly, then thats not a bad deal. I have the Stage III in my car right now. It takes some getting used to and is not like a stock clutch. If you slowly slip it, it will chatter and buck, you need to use more rpm's and let the pedal up quickly. It grabs like a **** and the engine revs much quicker.

:iagree: I have heard as long as they are installed correctly you can't beat SPEC.
