thanks for the info, but unfortuantly it's a little late. i've been drivin on the 8lb. and stage 4 clutchmasters setup for 2 days now and havn't had any problems. the clutch pedal actually feels "lighter" than when i had the CM stage 3 press. plate w/a stock ls disk. waitin for the 500 break-in miles to pass so i can go put the setup to the test.
