Do yourself a favor, Call Rob at Performance Spring. Previously of Dark Synergy. They have a clutch spring kit, that withstands the high tempertures these clutches produce. Unfortunately with the bad economics, they may not be producing these anymore. I just talked to him, and ordered another set, just to have. Phone # (918-230-5684) good luck!
