Fiberglass would have been my first guess as well. How exactly do the grooves increase pressure applied, and do they glaze at all?

Now that's interesing!
Which material does it use? O.O

I am running the discs with the clutch basket and the nut is only on about halfway and it still pulls the wheels, im probably going to make some disc with circular grooves to allow more slippage for the folks that already have the basket (its almost too cool not to use!) we will post some post test results and disc pics tonight after we get finished racing to see how much abuse they can take!

Whenever you start selling them, I might be interested.
Hopefully AE puts the updated slipper out as well, preferably with vented disks straight away.

Material is garolite which is a composite/fiberglass mix. The benefit of the grooves is two fold: one is that they vent heat and prevent build up on the disc and two they increase pressure. The theory behind this is solid and i have used this (amongst millions of others) on my race cars. Lets say you have 1000ft/lbs of pressure spread onto one surface, well you get 1000 ft/lbs of pressure per point. If you dived that point into smaller points each point actually gets more bite. In laymens terms and how i have used it is on my subaru STI (580whp) is that i can buy a clutch that has a solid disc and 2000 lb pressure plate but of course driving it around town is horrible. So instead i use a stock pressure plate(1200lb) and a 6 puck disc. No slippage and it still feels light. With the solid disc stock PP i coudnt make more than two dyno pulls and it would slip, change to the 6 puck and i have had it on my car for two years now with no silppage and i run the car at 500 HP everyday.

The advantage to running different pads is you won't have to mod your cover and they are probably going to be cheaper.
As to the 6 puck disc that is a whole different thing. It was probably ceramic with will have WAY more bite than the stock organic disc.
