Didn't know about the elimination kit at the time! let me know how it drives with that kit!
So firsts, I think the design alone is worth the cost. I was going to get this modification eventually, but...well, ish happens. The fact that they repositioned the hydraulic actuation to OUTSIDE the bell housing will save much heartache and smouldering pockets for not having to drop the transmission.

Clutch pedal pressure is amazing, as is the grip of the clutch now. I used to experience a spongy feel and a lag when I would initially shift I to a gear. This completely eliminated that, there's a clear cut point at which I feel the clutch engage, not to mention the smoothness of it is second to sex. It's like a switch now, either I'm in gear or 8m not. No more shuddering because of revs not matching exactly. What little power there was left finally could make contact with the ground, and the feel of the throttle became snappier too. Still have the oem clutch and flywheel, around 60k miles on it. Zach and Rob at Z1 said that it looked pretty good still...this was an unexpected expense, so I left it in. I'll eventually get the Z1 clutch and light flywheel when this one goes in another 2 years or so.

However, it's pretty damn expensive if you don't do the work yourself...I paid over $1300 to have it done properly at Z1. Pretty much what I was going to use for the ecu and tune...
