I ordered the twin carbon. I guess we'll see how it goes. Maybe these clutch are new to the market as far as B-series goes and people don't have any experience w/ them yet. Anyone?

I have one on my setup. granted its way over kill, I love it. Aside from the rattle it makes when you have the pedal pushed in, it works great. When i first put it in it chattered real bad but after a couple hundred miles it smoothed out fine. Occasionaly when it gets real hot it will chatter though. I have it on a b18c5 that made 300whp. I know its more clutch than I need but it alows me to slip the clutch a bit more without completely burning the clutch than before. I paid about 1800 for mine i believe. The other thing is that the clutch engages really far towards the top of the pedal travel. I would imagine this would be common with other twin discs as well.

More and more guys are going to this for the EVO's because it is a little more forgiving on the drive line then a normal Twin disk.

But i have not driven one.

Wait, I thought CC makes their onw? From reading what you posted, it seems as though CC re-sells these as CC units. Am I correct or did I read it wrong?
