Carbonetic Triple Clutch Question

Carbonetic Triple Clutch Question
Hey all,
Been ripping my car apart the past few days, and have everything laid out and apart for some maintenance and upgrades.
In the removal process of taking the motor out, I disassembled my Clutch to inspect it, and I am unsure what to think with the clutch discs. I took photos in order of how they were in front and back from pressure plate towards flywheel. I've attached a link to my online album for just the disks for review.
The discs look a little burned up, but appears to be plenty of life there. I have been hard on the car this year, but there are only about 12k on this. It didn't slip prior to removing and drove fine. Was thinking worst case scenario I could replace just what I need like the discs or what not, but figured i'd see what the community thinks. Thanks guys!

I left a message for them... Waiting to hear back, will try again later this afternoon... If this were any other clutch I would just be done with it. But it was feeling great not slipping at all prior. Wondering if other who have pushed this clutch hard have seen similar results with lots of life span left.
Anyone know of cutting the flywheel on these clutches too?
Rich, what clutch are you running these days btw?

Lol, it was a pretty hard 12,000 miles this year. About 6,000 highway driving, but a couple days at the track plus the friday night grudge matching. Most of the time I ran around ~16-17psi (600whp) so I would think think ideally there is more life left, but the hot spots like Djamps is exactly why concerned me.

You will most likely get a call back from a man with a thick asian accent, that is who I spoke with twice when researching the clutch for possible triple upgrade for a potential buyer. Good luck understanding him if its the same guy, but he will have the specs you are asking for in terms of disc thickness.
Have your specs ready for him and he will tell you if they are good or not. Also, make sure EVERYTHING stays in the same order and facing the same way or bad juju my man. Lastly, if you clean everything up nice its possible you will get louder than normal chatter for a bit until everything is coated in dust again.

If my thickness is still good, I think i'll put it back in and try it. Once I have the specs, i'll check everything with the micrometer this weekend. I feel better knowing that others do have heat markings though.

3.9mm per carbon disk is brand new
I think the service manual for it says anything above 2.0mm is safe. Let me see if i can find the info. I know if it starts to slip you have to shim it to get the most pressure on the plates as they thin down.
