I just purchased this yesterday and would be really interested to know as well. Also could some who have it provide a review. My builder says "it may it be really needed but what can it hurt?" So real world users please let me know if you've noticed a difference or increase in longevity.

follow the directions and be careful of the ring. make sure you press the bearing suport down when removing and installing the ring dont go by the picture of the screwdriver. http://monsterclutches.com/billet-bearing-install

Interested in this as well. I am getting ready to put a RXT clutch in the car. For those that have already replaced this bearing, any pointers?

I had a local shop change mine out along with a SPEC stage 2 clutch, new space cylinder, and tick remote bleeder. They had to carefully take the release bearing off the new slave and change out the support from Monster. They said it wasnt difficult, just had to be careful releasing the upper ring. Hope this helps.

This is pretty accurate as I recall.

If you replace the plastic bearing support your slave will never look like this after the plastic one melts from heat.
