Have been using the Ascenency (JVD) 4 shoe clutch with 1.0 springs on my 7 Port which works very well, but the springs in these clutches are a bit stiffer than your normal 3 shoe variety.
best clutch I ever tried too ..the 1.0 springs with the lighter shoes in the 4 shoe setup engage just like the 3 shoe with 1.1 springs.The shoes wear really well too..I've half last season and 3 races this year on my JVD (same as ascendancy) and I've yet to need to file off even a worn edge on a shoe..

Race tuned @ 230F and its still bogging.
As soon as I let off the throttle and try to get back on it, it lean bogs like its starving of fuel.
Yeh get a new set of 1.1 springs in there..The difference will put a BIG smile on your face..240 is a better temp too..all my GO's run around 250-260 depending on ambient temp and track conditions.
