I have the southbend stage 3 drag clutch with SMF lying here too which I have not fitted either yet. Once fitted it will be whole new learning experience for me with the clutch bite point again LOL. Something to look forward to.
I don't mind though tbh, just looking forward to getting all the work completed and enjoying the power that comes with it. I will be fitting the clutch kit and LSD together.
Now that would be awesome. I am fitting a few of the goodies tomorrow so getting a little excited now lol.
I'm thinking of buying this too as my DMF sounds like its on the way out!
Where did you source yours from mate?
I ordered it from JBS mate. Check out their website

I'm assuming you mean 'very hard to break', as not being able to stop the car would be a bit of a 'con' to me!

What torque you running? Just because you have a Stage 3 doesnt mean you need a stage 3 clutch! that clutch setup is rated to 520lb.ft which abit of an over kill if your only running like 400lb.ft

its about 400 but when the turbo breaks im going to upgrade to a billet ballbearing turbo! (all in good time)
So you reckon that sorta clutch is overkill atm!?

That is the clutch kit I have. If you get used to the biting point it will be fine for daily driving. My brother in law back home had one and it wasn't really that bad, you just have to get used to the biting point. At least with that you can be assured your clutch will be MORE than within tolerable limits.
