Is it going to come with a throw out bearing that they made or a factory piece?

Any clue on pricing?

How many miles do they expect out of the ceramic clutch? The ceramic clutch that comes in the Porsche Carrera GT is supposed to last the LIFE of that 600+hp car.

I know the ceramic they do expect to last very long, how many miles all depends on abuse. As far as the throw out bearing we are working on including it with the kit. Hopefully price should be in the low $500's.

I need a clutch right now. I'm not a racer and I don't want rediculous pedal pressure. I want reliable. If someone has experience what is best combination of performance and cost?

Sounds like from all the replies on all the clutch threads that the ACT PP with OE disc is the best bang for the buck... I'm just worried about that damn OE throwout bearing "snap ring"(?)... seems a few people have had problems with them.

So it is going to be one of the "cheaper" clutches in their line? I mean their listed flywheel for the Evo is $549 alone... the Stage 2 clutch for the old DSM Turbo is $589.00 (impressive compared to what I remember them being in the past$$$)...

Ceramic for $500? Are you sure you are not missing a 1 in front of a 5? Don't get me wrong, $500 is an awesome price!
