I think it is stage 2. In the picture, it looks like a copper disc with 8 ceramic tiles on each side. The flywheel is the Southbend DXD, and is single piece with close to OEM weight. I still recommend you get the HD CSC since your OEM CSC might fail quicker with the aftermarket clutch setup.

Once installed and bled properly, you should not have more than 1" of play in the clutch pedal. Regardless of temp, the engagement point or pressure doesn't change. Overall feel is slightly heavier, but feels natural. It is very easy to engage, and it is comfortable for daily driving.

I honestly have never dumped the clutch with this car. I'd love to, though
