Default Anyone heard of South Bend Clutch??
Just looking for some input. Debating between RS4 OEM clutch kit and aftermarket kit. Anybody familiar with this South Bend product (driveability, reliability)? Thanks for your input.

yes. many of us use them. I run a stage 4 in my stage 3 A4. RS4 will be fine before stage 3 S4.

Default I just had a south bend clutch installed at Induktion. (m)
I went with their stage 2 (TZ) clutch. I am AWE Stage III.

I just finished breaking the clutch in, but I have not really tested it yet. This clutch maintains stock-like feel, but it is not made for 6k clutch dumps. I wanted stock pedal feel, easy drivability, and more beef than stock. I plan to track the car some, but not in the quarter mile drags. So far, so good.

Default I have the SB OFE. Feels like stock...
I can spin the tires with 4500 rpm launches all day long. It complements the AWE stage III kit nicely.
