Default Anybody using a Competition Clutch stage 4 ??

Im looking at clutch options and just wandering if anybody is using the stage 4, 6 puck sprung clutch from Competition Clutch ??

Priced at just £425 seems very cheap.. Ive done a bit of searching and found a few bad reviews but they're all mainly from several years ago so im wandering if they've improved.

It will be used for drag and track action but still need to it be road compliant and able to cope with close to 700bhp.

Cheers Dubzy

I've got the 5 speed version,only running 380/380 through it at the moment.Not sure what it would be like at 700 but you're welcome to come and try it if you want, don't think I'm too far from you.

I was researching the ACT mate and stumbled across the comp stage 4, If it lived up to its claims then it sounds like its worth a punt but i dont want to be the guinea pig and end up replacing it shortly after.

Thanks for the offer buddy, how do you find it in traffic and pulling away as ive read reports of it been a bit of a pig and hard to pull off without kangarooing.

I had a stage 5 I think it was, 6 paddle version for a 5 speed that then went into the 6 speed.
Wasn't impressed with it, handled the torque fine but it was a pig and seemed to not be happy when hot
This was a while ago now I bought it, about 5 years ago

Thanks for the input, to be fair all the bad reports i read were from some time ago so maybe they've improved some what.

I must admit it can get tiresome in stop start traffic but I don't know if it's any better or worse than any other similarly specced clutches out there as this is the only one I've tried so far.
Pulling away is fine,takes more concentration than with a standard clutch but wether its any better or worse than any other paddle clutch again I wouldn't know.
Also just to add I'm by no means the greatest driver in the world so someone with more experience may get on even better with it.

Look into the extreme clutch if act too much money's.

I'm in process of removing my brand new CC due to engagement issues, and go from there.
