Default Carbon Multiplate Clutches

Any experiences/advice regarding multiplate carbon clutches? I'm looking at an Exedy sprung hub twin plate.

The pluses so far look like decent street manners for the most part, and lower clamp loads for the CSC.
What I haven't been able to find is info for mileage, and wear. Anyone with anything they could add?

Drawing on my experience with the Tilton twin disc clutch and lightweight flywheel, the carbon discs have heavy wear with just street and limited track use. Even with proper specs and installation, the clutch discs would need to be replaced within a 1500-2000 mile window. That's the problem with using lightweight clutches on the Z33 IMO.

And, if your goal is to prevent premature failure of the CSC, don't use the stock Nissan part. Here are two options to consider:
