I was looking at the S2 Daily, $925 I think.
My driving style is fairly agressive. I rarely get in the car and get to my destination without going WOT at least once. I don't beat the sh*t out of the car, but I don't baby it by any means.

I put a SouthBend Stage 2 Daily in my TSI six weeks ago and a Quaife Limited Slip diff at the same time. Pretty expensive mod but now when it breaks loose it is the tires (both of 'em).
Cold weather tire to road grip is much less that clean tires on warm pavement, but your clutch should not care what the temp is outside should it?
Be forwarned this clutch is not quiet like the stock clutch.
Edit to add: See DBC for good prices (or shop around).

Definitely not, run it up to around 5k rpm leave in gear and let off gas. I never heard such racket, it kind of grows on you though. :smile:

50k Uni S1 chipped since 5k, only the slightest hint, maybe a 250-300rpm slip at WOT from 3K. I have been trying to avoid long wot torque pulls in the cold, but other than that, I'm gunna try to ride it as long as possible before unbearable.

I know just what you're talking about. Had a S2 on my Maxima. Definately not DAILY driver. Though, on DBC, Southbend claims the clutch retains stock feel. After 40K on that clutch, I tore the entire drivetrain apart. Not what I want for the GTI. So how do we get performance clamping pressure with DD feel???

I've had this happen to my tsi as well, but im at 38k and I've been stage 2 since like 1000 miles.
What's really weird about my clutch is this; most of the time it doesn't slip, and then randomly somedays in the cold when i first drive the car it will start to slip a bit, and its usually only in the higher gears, 4,5,6. Anyone know why it randomly does that?

It's not random. It does it when it's cold and in high gears. Cold affects it because the clutch works via friction, sort of like a brake pad (clutch disc) and rotor (flywheel and pressure plate). When it's cold, there's less friction, so it slips. Taller gears put more load on the clutch.

There was a review on these about slipping after install w/a ko4. I think it was Ryan Mills but not sure. I wonder how long these kit last on a S2 TSI.
