I ended up with a combo that does not slip, is a on the agressive side but I do daily drive with no problems.

Sooooo.... after 2 *&^%$#@$% clutch changes in a short period of time, no fun at all. I wanted to put an end to clutch issues.
David, did you buy the puck ceramic bronze from paragon as well?

lart: I think clutch engagement is the advantage of the sprung vs unsprung. With the sprung you can modulate the clutch with the pedal whereas with the unsprung it's more like an on/off switch. I would go sprung.
David: Does your clutch chatter?

Lart from my research a spring centered clutch is smoother than a solid disc.
I've decided to go with the KEP stage 2 PP. I'm leaning towards the bronze disc
but would like to hear from Jimbo or someone else how it works first.
How many of us are looking into getting a KEP PP? Group buy maybe?
