Default Carbon Clutch/Flywheel Assembly

im thinking of getting a set because my clutch is almost gone already. have any1 got their hands on these things? I just wanna hear some reviews before getting a set. I read the description on www.tiltonracing.com, it said:

Carbon/Carbon clutches offer a great blend of high torque capacity (860 lb-ft), good drivability and long life. The linear engagement characteristics and high heat capacity of carbon/carbon enable these clutches to be easily modulated/slipped at the line, without overheating and damaging the plates. The low inertia of the clutch-flywheel-assembly provides smooth high-rpm shifting and faster engine acceleration

and the 2-plate 7.25" OT-II Carbon/Carbon clutch weighted at 5.3 lbs, while flywheel weighted at 6.1 lbs...that's super lightweight compares to ACT or Exedy...

This isn't going in a street car, is it? Tilton's stuff is top-notch, but I don't think I've ever heard of anyone driving them daily on the street.

That clutch is going to cost you half of your car! If you want durability, there is a company out there that makes a kevlar faced disc setup that virtually won't wear out - I heard that people clean the disc back up (rough up the surface) and reuse it again. It's also supposed to not chew up the pressureplate or flywheel like alot of other ceramic-metallic discs do.

The tilton clutch set had a review in a old 12/01?? Sport Compact. The thing is super light, but anyone that can afford one shouldn't be driving a honda...
