well, time for me to upgrade the clutch on my car...i wanted to ask you dsm guys....actually anyone.....what you guys think...


SBR 3500 or ACT 2600.....i leaning more towards the ACT, but i've heard alot of good things about that SBR....

 

Is it for a gst? Most people with fwds like the act 2100.

 

i was thinking the 2100...but i've heard alot of the finger going out on pp....and i also figured, i plan on upgrading and doing more mods, i might as well get a stronger clutch now.....

 

if your car is mainly driven on the street get a sprung disk, act 2100 or 2600 seems to be very popular, it will not be long before i have to replace mine as well, i will probably go with a ceramic disk and a decent pressure plate from baycity clutch since my dad has connections there...
i have been running the 2600pp with the 6puck brass disk unsprung and it has lasted only about a year....

 

and your all wheel drive, so i'm pretty sure your launches are alot harder then mine...i think i might stick with the 2600

 

a buddy of mine on here has never complained about his 2600 and hes running a fully built motor, stroked (russellbeerman)

 

ck out slowboy they seem to be overstocked

Are you running 7 bolt or 6 bolt currently? I'm happy with my ACT 2100 and heavy duty pressure plate. I've been told it's not a good idea to go with a heavy clutch such as the 2600 if you havn't gone 6 bolt yet because it increases your chance of cw.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I opened this same thread when I bought a clutch 7 monthes ago, and that was what made me decide, even though shortly after I ended up doing the 6 bolt anyway.

The 2100 has never slipped on me, even when i beat on the car (launching around, driving like and idiot, etc...) and yet it also isn't a pain in the ass to drive with if you're in traffic or just daily driving,

2600 is over kill. But of course, it's a heavier clutch, will most likely outlast the 2100 and can handle more power. I don't know what kind of power you will be putting down.

 

2600 and get a fidanza flywheel and put it on while you are in there, last thing you want is to miss a hard shift and have the flywheel expload on you and tear apart the whole car like i have seen happen countless times. Plus it helps the engine rev faster by reducing rotating mass, if you know anything about that.

 

I will not put a 2600 in my car unless I have already crankwalked and have a 6 bolt installed. I have read too many posts about people's cars cw'ing within weeks/months of their 2600 installs.

2100 is plenty for a fwd.
