what clutches and pressure plates are you running in your cars?
my price range is $500 - 800ish
Angus as you know the M30 is a torque monster under boost. I would look for a clutch that would hold at least 600ftlb.
I run a tilton 7 1/4" twin metallic discs, not street friendly at all.
I used an upgraded m5 pressure plate (1800lbs clamping) and a kevlar segmented disk. It slipped under boost as it got hot. Pulling it out to see if it was "operator error" or inadequate equipment. I'm going with an organic m5 disc to keep me on the road while I figure this out.
My original clutch held better than the kevlar one did.

Was a problem with the disc itself. Bringing it back to manufacturer to take a look.
In meantime, M5 disc seems to be holding - although I haven't really dialed up the boost yet while it beds in.

The modified pressure plate and organic disc held full boost at track.
