Thanks for the reviews!
i have the ACT monoloc. I also have the Comp Lightweight Flywheel invade I forgot to mention that. I had the work done by Kaizen Tuning and they said the one that comes with the kit is garbage.

Both the ACT and Comp CLutch kits, the included TOB is garbage. I've removed several that were failing, making noise, or had completely failed within 10k-20k miles of install. Get an OEM TOB. And also get a monoloc. It's not going to void any warranties.

^What are the symptoms before failure? Have you seen any other failures with the CC stage 3?

Thanks to you guys, I located an OEM TOB and monoloc locally. Going to hopefully get them tomorrow for Mondays appointment. Both these parts shouldn't have any additional labor charge since it is part of the clutch installation?

Also they are going to replace the serpentine belt. with the car being at 55k, they didn't say anything about replacing the pulleys. Is that OK?

sorry to go off topic, but you guys been super helpful so far!

They either make noise, or they fall apart. The point of not using them is that the labor to replace a broken one is the same as putting in a new clutch. So spend the extra $80 now, and get an OEM TOB..

I guess I didn't answer the bearing question. I believe Kaizen Tuning used my oem one. They never mentioned anything to me when buying the parts. I'll have to look at the invoice again to make sure.
