I did some extensive research and I called most of the clutch manufacturers, here is the problem, I read that some people on this forum overkilled their setup by putting "too much of a clutch" for such simple mods, in other words, a triple disc clutch is not the best way to go for a stock car, neither a single clutch disc is the best option for a 700whp Evo, do you follow me?
I also read that one Evo owner had a faulty installation on his triple Exedy disc clutch causing it to only engage one disc efectively ultimately wearing out his clutch prematurely.
I hope I gave you an idea of some discrepancies you might find. Whatever the case might be, good luck, the Cusco seen to be a great choice anyway.

Beats me, since I don't have a carbon I didn't look into it. Call up Matt and ask him.

I recieved my triple plate setup from UPS yesterday. Well packaged and ready to go 
Looks like the prices listed above were with shipping and handling included since my total bill was $880.

Here are some pictures of the new disks. Amazing how thin the friction material is.... but in reality it is three times as thick if you think about it from the right perspective isn't it?

Not to hijack but some of these posts seem very intelligent and looking for assistance to find the part I need to fix my clutch. Shep is sending back my tranny soon and I am missing what appears to be a very cheap part...
