I just didn't know where to start; so much wrong in that sentence. So..you want to pay a machine shop to grind the top plate rather than spend the same amount for the thin reds? Did somebody really mention the piston? And somebody said the drum was "designed" for five plates? Check out the description in eBay item number:

The company I bought the billet steel (aftermarket) drum from said it was designed for 5 stock thickness clutch discs (w/ stock piston), which is what I bought. Turns out I only have .018" in that configuration. **** happens I guess. So, to get my extra .070", I can either replace two of my frictions with thins, or use a thinner pressure plate/snap ring, or a combination of those. What do you recommend? I just assume use the frictions I've got and spend $20 on a thinner pressure plate - as mentioned above from A&A. Seems like a no brainer to me. What would you do?
