Formal review from a customer....
Review of Competition Clutch Stage 4 Clutch Kit
Name: Julian
Affiliation: TeamNJCT
Vehicle: 2008 Scion tC
Part: Competition Clutch Stage 4 kit (p/n: 16208‐0620/1620), Sprung hub
Purchased Through: Dezod Motorsports
Purchase Date: 9/25/2012
Installation Date: 10/13/2012
Pros
Pedal feel is very light, feels similar to Exedy Stage 1
Very easy to get used to
Great torque holding capacity on hard pulls (7 psi of boost)
Good on street driving
Smooth engagement on 2nd through 5th gears
Nice appearance and packaged very well
Included free T‐Shirt
Cons
Engagement on 1st gear during break‐in is very rough
Engagement feel during break‐in period varies depending on rpm speed (very rough < 2k rpm, a
little less rough between 2k and 2500 rpm)
Drivetrain shutters excessively sometimes (after break‐in finished) if engaging under 2k rpm
Additional Notes
The drivetrain shutter could be attributed to poor clutch work on my part or weak mounts. However, I do not recall such exaggeration on shutter when breaking in my previous clutch (Exedy Single Plate Organic Clutch Kit). Overall, I am pleased so far with the performance for the price.
No buffering, this is the raw review.

It is recommended to break in the clutch for 500 miles, however I found that the engagement felt much more fluid after 650-700 miles. I'd encourage anyone who buys this clutch to extend the break in period to between 650-700 miles instead for better all around feel.

BUMP!!!
After speaking at great lengths with CC about this market and their comeback to it which has been proven with parts sales and such....I decided to push the envelope even further for the community.
1) I got CC to offer RIDICULOUS pricing to us on ALL of their line-up for starters, which I am passing on to you fine people.
2) I got CC to warranty any old CC clutches that failed that you have in your possession for a new one with no questions asked.
3) Lower the hell out of the price for the twin disc so that more people can afford it and see how good it is compared to a single plate with high pressure load.
Mission accomplished. We have updated all of our CC pricing on our website except the twin disc which we are still working out fine details with them on. BRING IT people!

Stage 2: (80% increase in TQ capacity over stock) SAVE $89

Stage 3: (150% TQ increase over stock) SAVE $102.20

Stage 4: (max of 350ft/lbs) SAVE $91
http://www.dezod.com/pd_competition_...e_4_clutch.cfm
Stage 5: (max of 450 ft/lbs to the wheels) SAVE $91

Twin disc is currently around $1200.00 and I working to get it down to around $875-900. Which if you really think about would be DAMN good. I mean, if you buy a single clutch and flywheel, you're out about that much (if not more). So, get a twin disc for those big power builds like it should be. Not to mention, it will be better all around on power capacity and such. Plus the major bonus about the twin disc is longer clutch life, fully rebuild-able (for fairly cheaply too) and less strain on hydraulics which we all know will be a pure bonus in itself.

Just followed up with CC and they are letting us go to bat on an exclusive at this deal. We are going to offer the twin for $950 retail! Insane discount and value there fellas.
I am waiting to see how many we can order right now from them. If you need one, get that order in NOW. I do not anticipate these to be sitting on the shelves at all.
