Well, it came time to replace my stock friction plate since I was ripping the stock one to shreds. Here I compare the stock Sachs plate to ones from Swedish Dynamics and AP Racing. The AP Racing plate looks well made and ready to stand what I might throw at it. Those pucks have the bite of an alligator and allow you to deliver every snort of horsepower. The kevlar plate from Swedish Dynamics is suppose to last longer and the material will off-gas less which lends to less slippage. The build of the plate itself is not quite up to the standard of the AP Racing plate, but on about par with the stock plate. Also, the diameter of the AP and Swedish plate are slightly smaller than the stock plate (approx 5mm), but this should not be a problem since there is still plenty of material.

Has anyone had any experience, good or bad, with the kevlar plates?

I am going to run this with the Sachs Sport pressure plate (I got this from Europe through Engstrom Motorsports) which is good to 600Nm which should handle everything I can throw at it. Since the pressure plate is not the stock one, I decided to go with the Swedish Dynamics friction plate and not the AP Racing one. While it is a work of art, I feel that it would be a little to digital (on or off, no in between) and better suited for a stock pressure plate (anyone interested?). I have also sent the flywheel off to Dave at SPG9 to lighted the load a little and quicken my speed in the lower gears.

Cheers!
