Yes—I have bad chatter (it’s worst when the AC is on an my foot is off the clutch). I have vibration on startup, albeit not terrible, but I didn’t have before. However I’m not experiencing any new clunking—I actually find the Valeo kit very smooth to drive, but I attribute that to being a non-SAC. Almost every bushing in my car is new, and many are M3 rubber bushings—that’s to say I don’t have any poly/delrin/solid bushings to create this vibration.

Is there such thing as a non-SAC that still uses a DMF? If so I think that’d be the winning combination.
I bought the Valeo Kit last November and still have not got around to installing it. Price shipped from ECStuning was $389

The recent reviews have made me not proceed with doing the install but at this point I might as well install it.

Another option is a LUK dual mass flywheel and a Sach clutch kit ( non-sac ) but the cost of that is roughly $1300.

My biggest concern is the drive ability and noise on a day to day basis.
