To me the car still feels a bit sluggish off the line in Comfort & Sport although the meaning of "sluggish" is really relative here LOL. But when I put it all in Sport Plus, the throttle responsiveness transforms to holy shit levels of good and acceleration even from a standstill becomes muuuuuch better.

Any reccos on clutches? I know nothing about them.
There's a few people that claim it's how you drive the car that can make or break clutches, I'm not sure though.

My car (dinan stg1) sometimes feels sluggish of the line too, especially in this heat wave (southeast)...but some of that is just inherent turbo lag too.

Most people go w/ SSP clutches. There's another brand as well, Dodson, but for whatever reason SSP is more popular. Some folks upgrade the clutch basket as well but the standard is SSP clutches made to fit the OEM basket.

Good thread here; https://f10.m5post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1128469
