Ok so i just got this installed today, picked it up about fours ago and have put 78 miles on it. now im still breaking it in but i must say, I LIKE THIS KIT. By that i mean i like the new feel. I remember reading that ppl weres sayin this felt like stock..? Hell naw, this thing is no kidding about 30% stiffer if not more. Also the clutch travel is shorter. I kind of like that, it makes the car easier to grab if you know what i mean. the stiffer pedal feel isnt all that bad and is plenty tolerable. My tuner said this kit was about 5lbs lighter then the stock kit, and may be so as i noticed barely a 500rpm drop in gear changes, before that i think it was right around or just under 1k rpm drop iirc. I cant wait to get some load on it and see how that really plays out.
Another thing i have noticed and LOVED is that the "lunging" or minor bucking feeling ppl complain about with the stock clutch is gone, thank the lord! That was always anoying as hell to me, so im glad thats gone.
Something else id like to point out, is that my clutch started to slip bout i wanna say 3500 miles ago, and when it started i kind of took it easy on it, but not really, lol. My dmf was toast, hot spots galore aand it just generally looked like shit, i just realized i should have gotten pics, but i didnt...maybe ill drive by there tomorro and see if i could snap some if its not at the bottom of a dumpster.
And the last thing is the clutch chatter. at idle you cant really hear it unless you rev it a bit, then its real apparent lol i mean that son bitch chatters, actually sounds awful :lol: but on the same note sounds kinda of cool. I dont have any engine/trans mounts, only a pendulum mount.
So far, my overall opinion on this kit is :thumbsup: Time will tell i suppose, the real test is after the break in, but like i said, i like it thus far
Id also like to thank Berk at DBC for hooking me up with this kit and answering all my questions, thanks a lot buddy:thumbsup: Also mike at PureMS in San Diego for doing the install, and handling all my other problems, haha
