ACT Street Lite clutch
I’m seriously considering putting an LSD in either of my cars. If I do I’m putting a new ACT clutch in or refreshing the other. One still has the factory DMF so in that case it would be a monumental upgrade. Depending on your mounts the sound will increase. Worse at idle. These days if I’m idling for long I turn the car off to mitigate engine wear. Have you noticed downshifts can be based on feel now, rather than staring at the tach?I don't know if I ever told you this, but I did end up getting a new clutch with SMF. Definitely has the tractor noise you were describing, but also engages better.
I have an LSD, and I think it was a better upgrade than the clutch. I haven't noticed what you're describing with downshifts, but I do want to change the clutch line - the clutch pedal feels vague - the engagement point is difficult for me to discern, but that's not a change from before. I've read that this can be caused by the accumulator, and replacing it with a hardline directly from the master should help.I’m seriously considering putting an LSD in either of my cars.

I mean when rev matching. When I changed from the dual mass I began to just be able to feel through the pedal and more easily hear the shift points to drop the clutch on for a crisp perfectly tached downshift. Did you replace the bleeder block or remove the snail valve in there? That helped with engagement for me. But I think the best thing was the stiff CPE mounts. The engine even grunts when it starts to grab even when detuned. That said they are probably not great for DD and will accelerate the creaks and rattlesI have an LSD, and I think it was a better upgrade than the clutch.
