Default D'oh. Blew my RS4 pressure-plate at Atco today. Any good alternatives?
I'm fairly certain it went because of Atco's forcing you through the water and then you spin like crazy until the tires grab like a ****. It started out with very difficult (slooow) shifting in the 1320 and ended up with my rev-matching every shift on the ride home with a clutch that wouldn't release

I'm willing to consider other pressure-plates/clutches before I go with the same-old RS4, since the Avant will be even heavier... How are the CM's holding up? Anything else out there that's streetable?

Thanks!

Default Thats a whole 'nother post, I'm not sure I want to make.
Because of the PP I didn't get a single clean run in. One came close though, but my shifts were pitifully slow.

Default Deciding whether to post that right now.
Don't want to see it start a BS war. It was 93 and full-weight, full exhaust w/cats.

Just post the traps then, apparently 100% throttle at 2K rpm's is supposed to be worth 3mph

It's 'cause you know about that 400hp barrier and have been sworn to secrecy.
