I have a '13 with 27K on the OEM drivetrain. And spirited launches when I upgrade yes but absolutly no launch control or dumping the clutch. And I'm willing to put up with the stiffer clutch feel just not if the drivability is **** and if the increased stress on the trans from te more aggressive clutch is gonna kick me in the *** later.

Also the used clutch comes with an inspection/QC log from exedy, if that makes the used factor not so sketchy.

I still really like my RPS StreetMax about 10k miles in. 275/250ish here. 2005 5spd though.

I'd still say stage 1.

I'm on the stock 2.5l clutch with almost 120k at 300wtq since 90k miles. For the 10k before that I had turbo back. Thats 40k miles of 240+ wtq.

That's pretty impressive. When I bought my car, it needed a clutch - at 53k miles. Of course it needed a trans shortly after.

Yea I'm shocked it has lasted this long and I'm not THAT nice to it.

My friend needed a new clutch right after getting tuned for turbo back on his 06 wrx at only 45k miles.
