It's a "no brainer". Much stronger, works the same, piece of mind! I installed one recently no problems.

i saw the step by step write up you had. i have not replaced a rod persally so i don't know how different it is from the original. Would the Lambo dealer figure it out in no time or would they find it too different (they tend to lean towards stock on everything)

I have had one on my car for over a year and approx 9000 miles. No problems. It installs just like the original so I would think a dealer would do it with no problems.

It's so simple that if the dealer said he could not put it in run away!

My clutch rod broke 3 times on my Roadster and left me stranded.I had to have my car towed 3 times.
I just had the triple disc clutch installed by Sean at Hi Tech Exotic.Now I don't have to worry about Clutch rod problem anymore because it gets rid of the bad linkeage problem completely.I'm very happy with it.The pedal pressure is so much softer.
Sean was going to make a Titanium clutch rod because it's a lot stronger material but it wasn't going to hold for sure so they decided against it.
I hope this Custer clutch rod will hold,I just didn't want to take a chance.

Anyone have a web site or contact information for Custer? How did you all learn about the product?
