Yep, that clutch saw about 8k miles over about 8 months. The friction material is still in good shape, but the hub and mounting methods in the center gave up due to my roadracing driving style :dunno: I'll readily admit I downshift for stopping and for corner turn-ins, but this was "supposed" to be a competition clutch and CM doesn't want to say anything except "well that's what happens" basically. At least the guy at UR listened to my driving habits and what the car is used for and was able to tell me that I would likely destroy any sprung hub disk I put back in it. Now I'm just waiting on a quote for an unsprung kevlar disk from them. I really love how gentle the kevlar is to the pressure plate and flywheel, and it holds great, I just wish CM had stronger stuff for their sprung hubs. The metal that's ripped out inside the friction material is like some thin spring steel, which of course you can't see when it's in one piece like you'd expect it to stay...
