Default vast clutch setup FTW.

i honestly recommend either the vast kevlar or ceramic setup. my buddy jay(jaybquick) has had their kevlar setup for over a year now with absolutely no problems or slipping issues what so ever. hes also got atleast a couple hundred 4k+ launches on that thing as well. im going with the vast ceramic setup myself.

Default I don't launch or anything but I love my vast RS4/kevlar setup

great daily driveability and it's held all the power I can throw at it so far :-)

Default ya ive driven jays car plenty of times and his clutch felt better then my reg rs4 pos.

but all that abuse just goes to show you how reliable that clutch setup really is.

i think the ceramic setup is a little more recommended for serious track use / even more abuse.

the ceramic holds up very well for back to back to back launches

Default Quick Kevlar clutch question with all the talk, new to me Stage III performed awesome for 14 hours..

home and then after a quick wash I was off to dinner with the family. As soon as I got into boost it started slipping like crazy in all gears? For the rest of the ride I stayed out of boost and parked it for the night. The car had been run for a long time, would the temperature cause it to do that? The Vast Kevlar on the car has 8000 miles on it and I think it has had a pretty easy life.

It sat overnight and I am getting ready to go fire it up and see how she does.


BTW-Any ideas or things to check? The car is awesome but I need to be able to put all the power down.
