I have one of his units in my 3RB
Better fell than OEM, much higher clamp force, more progressive and slightly softer pedal feel.
complete kit including double skinned friction material (much longer lifespan) machined flywheel, bearings and everything marked ready to install.
A blind man could put it in and not have any issues at all.
All he asked was that I send him my junk stock gear back...

complete kit including already machined flywheel was about $1100
Extra thickness, fully organic material, pressure plate custimosed to suit power goals with no extra pedal effort. Mine is actually softer on teh foot and much more progressive take-up than teh factory units i've driven.
That also had freight both directions (send you old crap back to him) from QLD to Tassie.

My box was already out of the car due to having centre diff issues so install didin't cost em anything (install and removal was covered under warranty)
But Jim gave a guarantee that if there's an issue with the clutch kit he'll cover the removal and re-install expenses until it's right.

I don;t see exedy doing that with their noisy, rattly POS clutches with friction plates made from some old ropes.
