Tim941 - yes the Fiber Tough is strong like kevlar, just not as abrasive to the flywheel surface.
The pressure plates are modified to the same lbs pressure and both discs are sprung and in your pictures it was the same looking dics as their stage 2 Porsche one,and Louis said he made them the same way for you...thats all I am saying......

Good thread...

I've been lead to believe that Clutchmasters uses Sachs disc and PP anyways... simply modified for more clamp force. Does anyone here know otherwise? I was looking at going with a Sachs setup for quite some time - and some of the higher HP guys said you can simply send the Sachs unit off (to Clutchmasters actually) to have them modify it for more bite... Upon asking CM about this process, they suggested that I just use their kit to begin with (not surprising from a sales perspective) since they are using original Sachs parts as a base to their kit anyways... Makes sense, yes?


I'm looking to get the CM Stage 3 (fibertough on both sides) with AI flywheel for my K24/20G + FULL supporting mods setup.

Hi,You are right,,they all start with Sachs and modify accordingly....CM can and will modify your stock set-up for a charge,,,they have done it on others.....

One of the 999 P-plates is thicker and can handle more heat before warping.
