What are your views on the Clutch Masters clutch kit and the A.C.T clutch kit. Now im speaking specifically in terms of the Extreme pressure plate and 4 puck sprung combination. I'd like to hear from people who have experience with extreme pressure plates from A.C.T and also Clutch Masters. I've been hearing that the pressure plates from Clutch Masters are a bit harder to engage and disengage opposed to the ACT. There is a slight difference in price so if these issues are true, then I would consider spending a bit more for the ACT. I know the real differences will be in the pressure plates. I'll read up on their websites, but real life experience is better than what marketing says about their product.
Thanks ahead of time.

 

Not exactly what you were asking, but maybe it will help run an A.C.T 4 puck unsprung disc with extreme pressure plate in every car I own, I LOVE that setup, I've also had clutchmasters setups too and the pedal pressure is always stiffer, and I don't know about you but I like my clutch as light as it can be, A.C.T gets my vote..

How about some rep pts, I'll hook you up aswell

 

thanks for the info mang, it was exactly what I was looking for. So you've experienced an extra stiffness in the Clutch Masters opposed to the ACT? Why do you think it is so? I'm thinking maybe the Clutchmasters PP is not spring loaded as is the ACT.

 

Yea, no problem man, I think that's exactly what it is... And as much shit as people give me for running an UNsprung disc, I actually like it alot more than a sprung disc, jus the way it snaps out at you, and its pedal response is awesome.. That's just my $.02 though..

 

Upon further research im going to go with a CM kit. Feel free to continue the discussion. Just another topic to add to the future search for Noobs, or people looking for further insight on clutch kits.

 

I run an ACT Maxx Xtreme pressure plate with metallic 6 puck unsprung... Takes some getting used to, but its awesome!!!

 

Mind if I ask why you switched to the CM setup?

 

not exactly on your level but i have a clutch master stage lll carbon kelvar segmented disc and its great. the pedal pressure is almost near if not stock. this kit is mated to a fidanza 8.5 lbs flywheel. this setup really grabs and gets you going.

 

i currently have a clutch masters stage 4 6 puck un sprung in my hatch, it has been attatched to that block for over 2 years. it works great for what i do with it and it holds the power well. it only took about a day to get use to it and its cake from there on out. this is my first CM tho. i have always run ACTs in my cars, there is a downfall to ACT tho, there pressure plates are usually SO strong that they rock trannys to death, especially in under powered cars and from people power shifting the crap out of them.

i have also used clutchnet before and they are a piece of crap with bad customer service.

on a side note: i have had 3 bad pressure plates from ACT, by that i mean, the pressure plate was assembled wrong and WOULD NOT disengage, it was an assembly issue and they sent me new ones

 

cheaper price, and they offer an upgrade on the PP for an extra $40. The stiffness is inevitable with ACT or CM, I just have to get used to it. So pretty much the big P, and the opportunity cost was low.
