This may be useful info for some who are looking to get a new clutch for their manual transmission.
240 mm 30 lbs SMF
Clutchmaster 240 mm FX 300 Kevlar
Had vwztips do the upgrade. Absolutely delighted with the outcome: buttery smooth shifting. Mine has a stage 2 and the old clutch was shuddering and slipping.

I've had this setup sitting on the shelf for 4 months. I'll get around to installing sometime this year :p

How long have you been waiting for an email response? Longest I waited in making my order was 2 days I think. Understandable as he is a busy guy with a lot going on.

Same here. Always had great communication with him, even when he was across county buying a water/rug combo that left him getting his car towed on a west coast road trip. He may be on vacation? I don't answer work related¿¿¿ on vacation.

Hmm....odd....certain you got the right email address? Did you try contacting him on the forum in case your email got sent to spam or something?

Hmm that is odd. He generally has great customer service reviews. As a business manager myself, I do understand how some times things get missed or lost in the hustle and bustle. I would suggest just being patient and persistent if you are wanting to make an order right away.

Wish he would respond to my emails.

He would not respond to your emails, and be careful to give any $ upfront he would take you for a ride like he did to me, he owes me $4k,, for all you members be careful with his BS.

I emailed him for information a few times, mainly because I don't have time to sit on the phone (always running around), and each time he just told me to call him, or that he was busy. His products are top notch from what I've read and seen on here and facebook, but man, I just wanted information. That's alright Frans hooked me up, and me and my car are happy. If I ever mess with the car again and get a bigger turbo ill probably be hounding him again since it'd be in my best interest to get that heavy single mass flywheel haha.

Really? How so, couldn't you complain to your bank and get your money back if that's the case?

I havent been able to reach Matt since December 14th.
I need the weight card and brand for the bhw pistons he installed in my ahu .. One of them has been damaged by a dropped valve and will need replacing, I need to order a new replacement and need the exact same brand / weight so that the shortblock can be balanced.
I also asked him if he could sell me a new head.
