Performance Clutch?
Haven't seen anything yet. A quick parts search tells me that the 4B11 doesn't share the same clutch assembly with previous Lancers, and the release bearing is of a design that I haven't seen before, and expensive. You may have to wait a bit longer for one to come out. I would guess that either Clutchmasters or ACT will be the first to market with one.
You guys definitely need a clutch option, though. Had the opportunity to drive a GTS a week or so ago and the clutch pedal feels like there's no fluid in the line. I accidentally slammed the pedal to the floor when I first pushed it in.

I heard from somewhere (can't remember exactly) that the manual gearbox in the Lancer is a close cousin of the Scion TC gearbox. Maybe do some homework on that...you never know...TRD stuff may fit. Stranger things have happened. 
Fidanza are working on a flywheel as we speak. and will also have a clutch available if they see enough interest for it.
I have more details but i can't give to much away on this forum. email me or something if you want more info

I agree. After getting used to driving my manual, I jumped in my GF's tracker, and felt like i was getting a gastrocnemius workout. (ie: calf muscle)

There is a performance clutch by ACT for the evolution X. Would it work with our lancers? Part Number: ME1-XTG6 There are different types available though, this is just one of them. From $600 to $700.
Unlikely, but can't really tell without looking at the two clutches side by side. If it did work, it'd likely be severe overkill.

To my knowledge the ME1 kit will only work on the EVO X. The Lancer uses a different engine and transmission combination. I just spoke to the R&D department and they did not have any scheduled dates for production of a kit for the lancer.
RRM has already put a performance clutch on their turbo Lancer, so I'd say something already exists. It's just a matter of finding out the maker/model number or waiting for RRM to sell it (with a markup for profit).
That's business, sadly...
