Need a new clutch, what's best for daily driveability?

Hi guys,

I have a c5 s5 avant with the 2.7t 6 speed swap and an rs4 friction plate that wore out in literally 2k miles.

So I need a new clutch that engages smoothly handles 360hp(euro flash)and 320tq

I have been driving stick (bmw e36 m3 and e46 330) since 00 and the s6 has been the most difficult thing I have ever driven.

When I got the car back it was always shuddery/chattery from stop to 1st and a tiny bit 1st to 2nd and the release is 4 inches off the floor.

Thanks for any suggestions..

Tom

I have a stage 4 Southbend in my DD 01 S4... It chatters pretty bad, but it holds my 500hp with ease...

I'd stay away from ceramic if you don't want chatter. How about the ClutchMasters 350?

I have the ceramic CM FX400 with steel LWFW and it's rare that it doesn't chatter in 1st. It's great in every other gear.
