Carbotic clutch friction material??

As I'm looking through clutch options for the 10th time I realize I don't really like any of the clutch options for a street driven 400ft/lb daily driven car. The only option that seems like a good compromise is the Exedy multi plates, however they are very pricey.

I ran into the page below detailing a friction material I've never heard of and wanted to see if any of you have any experience or if you guys have ever heard of it.

Scroll down to the"Carbotic" material:

seems to be unique to the fibertuff company. probably no public info on it but the name suggests it contains carbon.

Get a Carbonetic twin with the 'Street' spring setup. Drives like an OEM, shifts great and holds up to ridiculous amounts of abuse (road racing). It's the clutch I wish I had bought to start with.

After more than 20 track weekends, the only thing I would change with the clutch is I would like a hydraulic TOB better than the external push conversion. It works fine, but it hangs out off the front of the tranny. The hydraulic TOB would be cleaner.

The biggest compliment I can pay to the clutch is, I never think about it. It just works. For people who track their cars, that is the highest praise.
