It's the softest pedal feel of any after market clutch I have driven. Engagement is grabby but not on/off by any means, and with a little seat time it's not a problem daily driving, and sitting in traffic. I posted videos of the noise associated with the metal throw out and the chatter.

The chatter I wouldn't say is any different than any other aftermarket flywheel. If you don't want chatter period, put your car back to stock.
Which one did you get ?

Mine's in, just finished replacing engine + clutch though so I have a few things to tie up on the engine side. Pedal feel is slightly lighter than the spec stage 3+ that came out, I'll update with first driving impressions this weekend!

Pedal feel will only get better. I'm almost at 2000 mi on mine, and it's better than ever, engagement only gets better.

Just ordered mine from @MFactory. Can’t wait to get it installed. Can’t even floor it in 3rd at any rpm!

Thanks Michael for the responsiveness !

Still haven’t driven it yet but i did start it up. Clutch chatter in neutral is almost non-exsistent, definitely better than the spec setup with a 850rpm idle. The throw out bearing is pretty loud when the clutch is depressed though, much louder than before but hopefully it’ll quiet down after breakin

The bearing does quiet down after around 1500 miles to almost non existent the more you put on.

You can use stock one but I've seen them fail on other twin plate clutches and it wasn't pretty thats why i suggest using the supplied one and put up with the noise for a while

100 mile update!

It's definitely more grabby than the spec but after about a day I'm used to it. The friction zone (or slip zone whatever you want to call it) definitely seems narrow. You'll without a doubt stall it once or twice when re-learning the friction zone. The neutral chatter has actually come back slightly after putting some miles on it, but I would say less so than with the spec. The throw out bearing noise when the clutch is depressed has already gotten better, still only noticeable to me with the windows down but the girlfriend says she doesn't hear it in the car anymore. As far as NVH goes, I can't really say how it compares because I also changed to revshift 80A engine mounts at the same time, but to me it seems like it's similar to before.

I'll update again after break-in is complete

The stock ones cant handle the load from the twin pressure plate and they fall apart and spray their prelubricated grease all over your clutch

Count me out of the group buy. Can't trust the vendor when they can't bother to respond.

We (MFactory) have taken over the handling of this group buy, and have responded to every enquiry/pm/email that we have received regarding the clutches. Some have already received and installed their clutches.

Did you have a specific question about the product?

You have no doubt, but at the end of the day, if I have a problem with the clutch, I'm going to be at their mercy.
