So today, I'm not impressed. Went out to my car to go to work this morning, pushed in my clutch before I even started it, and heard a pop.

Drove to work and pushing down on the clutch now required little to no effort. The clutch now engages at the absolute top of the peddle travel, and also slipped under boost. With all the symptoms it's displaying, I'm 99% sure the pressure plate cracked, or at least a few of its bearing fingers.

I spend a bit of extra money for a Competition Clutch Stage 2 and installed it back in Dec. of 09. It seems to have lasted 22 months; was kinda hoping for more.

Mind you, when I opened the Competition Clutch box, the pressure plate was a yellow ACT one painted black. Not sure why some of these brands are all mixed in together...
