Default OFFICIAL HR aftermarket clutch thread

Lets here from everyone with an aftermarket clutch on their HR. Main reason I want to start this is to actually see how widespread the CSC issue is.

DO NOT POST:
opinions, this thread is for facts and experience
if you still have the stock clutch
useless comments like "cool" or "sweet" or "your CSC is gonna grenade"

keep this thread clutter free, I don't want it blowing up into 38 pages of useless 3 word posts!

MODS:
Please help keep this thread clean by deleting posts as described above.


Here are the questions:

1. What brand clutch and flywheel?

2. How many miles have you had it and how many miles total on your car?

3. How do you drive it?

4. Have you had any problems with the CSC?

5. Have you done anything to address the CSC, was its preventative or as a result of a failure.

6. What other mods do you have / how much power?

7. Comments / anything else you want to add.

1. What brand clutch and flywheel?

JWT Clutch and Flywheel

2. How many miles have you had it and how many miles total on your car?

3000 on clutch (and CSC)/13000 on car

3. How do you drive it?

Some drag/roadcourse but mostly street. I do get on it though (WOT, hard shifting, etc.)

4. Have you had any problems with the CSC?

Funny you mention this, I was about to post and update one of the other clutch threads but then I saw this. My CSC started leaking today. I am driving down to the keys Friday morning with the SFZCC so I have already started disassembly to replace it before then. I picked up a new CSC from my local dealer today.

5. Have you done anything to address the CSC, was its preventative or as a result of a failure.

I will be doing this next time it fails. I wanted to do it this time but the time constraints I have to adhere to do not allow me to do the conversion.

6. What other mods do you have / how much power?

GTM TT and supporting mods. ~470whp DJ and ~400rwtq DJ

7. Comments / anything else you want to add.

Other than the CSC issues, this clutch and flywheel setup is holding my ~400rwtq beautifully. The drivability is almost like stock just with a slightly heavier pedal.

For the people that haven't figured it out:
CSC = clutch slave cylinder
