The Rulon shoes will grab the clutch bell the best but wear out that much faster, The carbon's are right in the middle fine for most applications and the teflon will slip quite abit more and possibly over heat they are to be used in low traction situations.

Hope that helps you... Great choice by the way

I'll be getting one shortly as well.

The Carbon shoe has the moderate wear and is a common first choice, it has a linear throttle feel to it, with a moderate amount of grip.

Rulon on the other hand has higher wear, this is especially dependant on the amount of slip used. It does however have the most grip. Be aware, because of this, the clutch can feel like its getting heavy (engaging early), This is because of the increase in grip because of heat. Base your adjustment on a hot clutch, 1 minute. This is an excellent choice on a high traction tracks assuming you put the time in.

Teflon has the least grip with excellent wear, it is best suited on low traction conditions or for engines lacking bottom end. It allows the engine to spool up before the clutch locks.
