I will post up my initial thoughts from the drive home. For break in I plan to just drive normal and not go WOT, but I am not going to go so crazy easy on it either.

More to follow...... I will let you guys know how well it works with the Stock TOB.

Can't wait to hear what you think, I am wondering how it will feel with the stock TOB.

Pressure Plate heavier then I imagined? I thought you just ordered the TOB?

They are heavy bitches! Trying to lift it up to the flywheel, while you are hunched over under the car, sucks! I weighed my stock flywheel, pressure plate and what was left of my stock clutch, it was well over 50lbs. You can get a lightweight pressure plate from some manufacturers, but again, it's pricey.
