What was your opinion of them, I was originally going to get my clutch from them but no BMW guys had any real experience with Southbend. I really think a Stage 4 clutchmaster is too much for daily driving in stop and go traffic and might be looking to change again. FML ---

Solid people to work with also, How is their customer relations, like when the company forgets to send the alignment tool are they going to fight you about it or would they actually send it to you. The place I bought my clutch from had the box break open during shipment and the tool fell out, and they couldn’t have cared less. Southbend Clutch’s website just didn’t give me too warm of a feeling, its slightly bootleg. ---
