    which clutch would you recommend??

    Hello guys,

    im looking into buying another clutch because mine is going to wear fast after my tune
    & was thinking of buying the exedy stage 2 clutch kit.
    just wanted to see if anyone has tried this clutch out
    (did you like it, would you recommend another one, etc).

    I Daily drive my evo
    I dont launch but i drive hard sometimes when i need to
    something that will hold around 375WHP and last for a while

    Any recommendations ?

    thanksÂ* O0Â* :mitsu: :mitsu: :mitsu:

    Re: which clutch would you recommend??

    ACT 2900 (HDSS) with the organic sprung hub disc would be perfect for you. It is not a heavy pedal and drive like stock. It will hold the power you are after and more.

    Exedy pressure plates have these buttons built into them that touch down and actually make the clutch slip sooner. If you ever actually look at how they work you would swear they did it just to sell more clutches. That is why when an Exedy or stock clutch goes, it just goes fast. Once the disc gets past a point the clamp load is gone. I'll try to get a picture of what I am talking about.

    Re: which clutch would you recommend??

    I didn't enjoy it the same.. That's all

    The Exedy kind of does it all for you... If you ride it, you'll Kill it fast a con..

    The ACT is like a normal clutch with a stiffer spring in it and a higher engagement point...

    The Exedy feels like stepping into a bucket of quick-dry cement BTW

    I like the ACT 3200 with street disc, but everyone has different things they look for in any part, including a clutch

    ACT 3200 clutch with the street disc is the way to go. If you had a lot of power then I would go with exedy hd twin disc or quartermasters twin plate

    Act 3200lb with a street disc.

    seen plenty of people run way more then 450whp on them over and over with no issues. i had 435whp/383wtq and it was never an issue.

    its been in the car for almost 30k now and still holding up like day 1. O0

    An ACT 3200 is overkill for his stated purpose of 375hp and no launching. You will have a heavy pedal for no reason. If you will be going north of 375 hp and will be launching it, then a 3200 would be in order.

    He does have a point. 2900 ACT with a street disc and ACT flywheel would probably be perfect for you O0

    Exedy does this to make their single disc clutches slip earlier:



    ACT gets rid of that silly ish:
