    Lots of info in the forum. The three big aftermarket players are Eurocode, JHM, and South Bend. All offer varying levels of clamping force and friction materials.

    I'm curious @chrislmorris : what triggered you thinking that? I ask because I recently got to Stage 2 as well and I have notice a very small jerking when trying to launch rapidly. Was wondering if I needed an upgraded clutch as well..

    The OE clutch isn't particularly good,but you can launch just fine without needing to 5K RPM & drop the clutch

    No, I actually got slippage before the flash, just not nearly as bad. The stock clutch definitely sucks. It's damn expensive to do the clutch overhaul correctly. That's why I'm asking for feedback.

    I've been on APR stage II since stasis went under. Clutch slips under WOT in most gears now so I def need a change. But drives fine under normal conditions

    10k on my JHM stage 4 clutch with lw flywheel now. Zero issues.

    I chose the JHM over the EC clutch because it had a better track record, I keep seeing posts still about the EC engagement after break in being very touchy. I wanted something as close to stock pedal feel and engagement with the added benefits of being able to hold stg2+ power.

    The ecs setup was not available at the time, but their flywheel without a replaceable surface is a huge downside for me anyway.

    Southbend I looked into but there were no real reviews and the price was the most.

    Best of luck with your decision. I have been happy with mine.
