I think that clutch was listed in a craigslist ad. I highly doubt that it's anything but a stock replacement. That, and I'm pretty sure that the Borg Warner boxed kits were 9 1/4", but don't quote me on it. I've never seen one that was listed as the revised size.

Ive never even heard of a stage 4 clutch. Whats the difference with it compared to a stage 3?

For a clutch kit it just has all of the parts to directly replace your clutch with a new unit.

Unless you have a turbo or s/c you dont need stage 4.

Alignment tool isn't needed just makes it easier. If you have something to put through the hole that is approx the same size as the trans input shaft thats all you need when tightening the fly wheel. HINT drop the whole subframe, I helped joe with his gf's car and we ended up using a scissor jack to help lower the drivers side of the subframe.

Somebody I saw had really good pics of doing the job too.

The only bearings that are ceramic are the SHONut bearings. Just because it is revised doesn't make it ceramic.

You got a stock clutch.
