So many different experiences with those
I had one on a K04/997 hybrid car, that held with no issues for 20k miles. Then again, I never really beat on it, daily driving.
I run the Clutchmasters Stage 4 clutch on my Tial car, and would recommend that to anybody. It's a beautiful clutch to drive.

Yeah, I had one last about 20k while stage 2, then it slipped one day and I could never unglaze it
The next one, the SAC broke, then this one, well, the pics are obvious.

Re-read the original post.. this one BROKE, the last one FAILED, the first one SLIPPED :)
I know how the sac works. I've been down this road many times. That doesn't change the fact it's a delicate design and subject to failure or manufacturing problems.
I will be glad when I eliminate the sac mechanism. I mean, really, I can see its value on a stock car where the clutch pedal needs to remain consistent over 100k, but realistically speaking when has anybody here put 100k on an RS4 clutch with a stage 3 car that wasn't freeway driving 200 miles round trip?
