DCT Upgrades

How many people are running Dodson or SSP Clutch upgrades? I would think the cars are starting to be worn down so service would be needed by now

From my research and speaking to people SSP is an easier install where you can put it in and they are problem free because the clutch packs are the same height as OEM but Dodson aren't and I think you need to make sure the heights are correct and are harder job for someone to install and if not done right will not adapt correctly.

I know someone that just installed a Dodson supersport plus that comes ready to go from Dodson you just need to install the baskets and he has had no problem says the shifts feel a lot harder when you're on it and drives pretty close to stock otherwise.

Thank you, Im more concerned with how many people are actually running them. With the cars aging 10 years now, even stock, nevermind just upgraded cars would need new clutches by now. Curious if there are 5 cars, 10, 100?
