My buddy just put an act in his max and he already wants to spend 20 more hours to take it out. Its good for what its made for i guess but not ideal for every day driving because of the limited slip.

you just got to have a strong leg, stage one is not bad I drive my friends 240 with it feels like stock, but try driving a talon with 2600 ACT then you will get a major work out.

Single best mod I have.... I love it don't listen to these guys, the stage one is a piece of cake... and 20 hours come on man, I have done 3 of these 3 hours, 4 hours MAX!... If it takes you 20... then you are doing something wrong...

BTW the stage 1 is actually a STOCK clutch disc, just a stiffer pressure plate, so it should not be any more "grabby" or anything, just got to work the cluck a tad bit more, but I can still slip the **** out of it and start in 2nd or 3rd gear if I want
