As of right now...thats what I'm doing..

I would like to add that I would hold for the metal CSC available in a few weeks. There have been reports that the stock CSC with and without the bearing cap, is not strong enough to withstand the pressures of a stronger pressure plate. The CSC's bodies are breaking at the mounting points on the transmission.

Same old problem ..... fix one weak link and another appears.

As far as I know, Southbend said yes. But I'm still going to wait for the metal CSC to be available before I do my install.

I ordered the CSC sleeve. Metal csc depending on price/availability.

I drove a Stage 5 multi puck from Southbend. I really had no qualms about it when I took it out. I actually liked it so much that I would put it on my Z, if I ever needed it.

I know its not that great of a review RCZ, but the limited time I had with it made a lasting impression. I was impressed.

The car that I drove is now at Sound Performance being built for 30'ish PSI.

Any bit helps. Thanks LiquidZ.

It took a long time in coming but the metal CSC is now available from ZSpeed Performance.

Unfortunately, they are not easy to make nor cheap to purchase.

RCZ 10-27-2010 01:16 PM

holy price batman, looks awesome though. I'll have to do this when my Stock CSC goes.

BTW, I love my Southbend Clutch.
