I swear by ACTs for street use. Their full face/sprung disk can handle most street/strip applications. I have never had a problem with one of their full faced discs with Xtreme® Pressure Plates. Look into them before you make your decision.

BTW: You just plan on using this for a daily driver clutch with occasional strip usuage right? You said bolt ons and MILD internals...can I take this to mean that you will remain all motor? The ACT has proven itself to me time and time again on JRSC All motor and mild turbo setups in Hondas.

What motor? Gsr? W/ just bolt-ons you might want to try a type R pressure plate and a gsr disc. OEM quality. Just an idea.

I personally hate organic material on clutches or brakes but ACT has a good lining on thiers that proves to hold up much better than most....so if you dont want a real clutch(copper-ceramic etc.) I would go with the ACT with the race lining and an (this is the important part) XTREME presure plate do NOT get the heavy duty one if you have any power

Even though I have a 240 I just had to put in my 2 cents. After talking to allot of racers and my mechanic (Nissan/Porche specialist) It was a toss up between the CFDF and ACT both get great reviews on performance and durability. I ended up putting a stage 3 CFDF in my car because there is a discount for people off the 240 list. I think they do group buys too if anyone is interested pm me. Later all.

Do not get it even if you think you have the power. On a Honda trans you probalby dont. That thing will eat up a Honda tranny. Seen kids get it without knowing what they were doing and regret it later.
