I purchased this kit from amico clutch on ebay (254.00 Shipped) and finally installed it on Saturday. The install went well and the fitment was good. However I was a little frustrated with the alignment tool! There was a slight amount of free play when I was aligning the clutch, this made me nervous because I wasn't sure if the trans. was going to go back together easily. After roughly putting it into place I connected the axels on either side to make sure that the trans. was in. Everything went together fine from there.
Drivablity:
The pedal action after the install was much improved. (However, I must say that my stock disk was so shot from day one of the motor swap that I dont really know how oem feels.) However, there was a good feel to it. You could definetly find the dis-engament point easily. Throttle response seems to be better and midrange improved. Top end suffered slightly but anyone building a street car would benifit from this kit. Starting off in first you could tell that there was more bite, and I had to remember to give it a little more rpm's to start off.
Overall for a clutch kit with flywheel that was inexpensive I have no real complaints yet. I will test its limits more after the all important break in period and let everyone know how it is. But for now I would reccomend it to anyone on a budget.
On a different note: This kit is relativly drivable for someone who doesn't have much experience driving a manual trans. My girlfriend had some trouble starting off but after a while she got a feel for it. Im teaching her before she buys the 06 sti!!
