haha we have had more then our share of high hp customers with exedy stage 2 clutches...for over a year of abuse...i'd be willing to make a nice bet that an act 6 puck sprung that you guys all get craps out before the exedy cerametallic stage 2. its been taking 540whp for 10 months now...hmm

(disclaimer...i never said it was easier to drive or as smooth as an act 6 puck sprung....but for raw holding power...FTW!)

exedy owns all clutches. i hate ACT. i did have the SPEC clutch in my suby and it wasnt bad. gave out quick though, i believe Snomann had the same issue with his SPEC. i couldnt afford the exedy at the time or i would have got one

haha spec and act...thats a good one...

act makes great products...

spec clutches contain act parts so its sort of like saying a honda is different then an acura...

proven very much so when the 06 wrx clutches first came out, and spec magically didnt have anything til act released their clutches hehe

yep, i was going to go twin plate, but wanted something most people would use and can afford (over time of course)

throwing in a twin carbon clutch...would have been a little over the top.
