You may want to upgrade your clutch master cylinder then...use the Evo 8 clutch master cylinder. Heavy duty pressure plates and out stock master cylinders don't go very well together.

Man why the stage 4 ? I am planning on the stage 1 although a 2 might be in the works... But a stage four seems like over kill .. Is it a racecar ? I'm not hating it's just as I've seen and heard there seems to be problems with putting a full race clutch in a dd car. I've shot up to a 115 shot at the track and the stck clutch has held it's own and is only now starting to slip at 55k... So let us know about how it feels and works for you. I'm very interested.. YouTube it

Lol yeah that's funny I surf the srt4 forums regularly , it's the only fwd car that has power comparable to the ralliart..but at the same time the srt4 tranny is a bit more beefy stock than ours is stock.. I have plans as to get an extra tranny lightened flywheel, stage 1-2 clutch and quaife LSD ( hopefully the price doesn't jump again or I find some hard evidence that the ecilpse one will fit as it's 300 bucks cheaper than a certain company while it seems to be the samething)I need to find a totaled ralliart that is just cosmetically totaled ... Crossing my fingers lol... Good luck to you and us posted , even on problems so might fix them more effectively and with quickness ..,

i have to disagree with u about the srt4. the srt4 is one of the fastest cars u can buy right now for under 20k the 04-06 ralliart isnt even in the same class as the srt 4...i mean think about it..turbo...no turbo kinda obvious man not trying to dis on you or anything thats just my veiw of it but every one is entitled to there own. That all doesnt seem like a bad idea..good luck on that keep up on the posts and let us no how it all goes...and thanks i will defiantly post how that clutch project of mine goes.

Yeah I guess I should of throw in I meant turbo'd ralliart = srt4 ..., I understand where your coming from though.. But like I said I'm spraying a big shot and I plan on upgrading to direct port kit... We have all motor ralliarts/turbo ralliarts / and for some reason so few nitrous ralliarts, I don't know why ... It takes to the spray nicely...

Depends on if it's a sprung hub or not. I've driven a few cars now (both AWD and FWD) with sprung 6 puck clutches and they really don't feel all that different than driving with a full disc. Solid hub, on the other hand, is probably going to feel fairly rough.
