Quick overview on the car-
2017 Civic Si
PRL Race maf cobra intake
Mishimoto intercooler kit with charge pipes
MAperformance downpipe/front pipe and cat back (street) exhaust
Hondata flashpro with TSP Stage 1 tune
Clutch Masters FX400 with lightweight flywheel, SS braided clutch line
Eibach lowering springs
TSW 19" rims

I have 400 miles on the FX400 now, of very easy (under 3K rpm 99% of the time) all city driving, stop and go. After becoming very impatient I called Clutch Masters themselves and asked if 500 miles was the true break in period, due to mixed reviews online I wanted an answer from the source. They said 200-300 miles. So I didn't just take it out and start dropping gears and going WOT, but I did start driving a little more aggressively and actually let some boost kick in. I love this clutch. It grabs hard but the engagement is not as bad as I thought. It's very driveable as a daily driver, which it is. Reverse has way more chatter than I'd like but I don't notice it with any of the other gears. I'm very happy with it, I just hope it lasts more than 15K miles. I will add an update after I put on another 100 miles or so of this type of driving to ease my way into very spirited driving or going WOT. Will be going E85 as soon as I can swing it without my Wife killing me lol.

I got the clutch kit and flywheel for about 1050$ from CM themselves. Plus the 30$ or 40$ for the SS braided clutch line, and about 600$ labor for the install. So about 1700$ all in all.

$600 seems reasonable for clutch install. And it sounds like they did a good job, Are you in Orange County California?
If so, could you share the name of the shop that did the work?
I'm right on the border of OC.
Thanks,

Hit up my guy Nelson from A1 Automotive. I have zero complaints with the install and he's been good to me and my family for years.
