Exedy Stage 2 vs. ACT 2100
Well I'm still on the search for the best cluth possible for my car...I need something that is very streetable because I drive often and I sometimes have to deal with traffic that is at a crawl so I dont want a heavy clutch. I was actually set to buy an ACT 2100 but my friend told me about a drag strip that's in the area that I never knew was there. So it got me thinking and I dont know if I should stick w/ the ACT 2100 (street disc) or if I should go for something else, like the Exedy stage two which seems like it's right inbetween the ACT 2100 and 2600. If you have any other reccomendations I'm open to suggestions.

Re: Exedy Stage 2 vs. ACT 2100
I've driven both the act 2100 and 2600 and found both of them to be very streetable... I vote for the 2600 if you will be doing any heavier mods to your car for the track. If you don't plan on upgrading too much more then I would say just go with the 2100.

Re: Exedy Stage 2 vs. ACT 2100
Well, I used to be a big ACT advocate, I have heard many times they are the best clutch option for DSM's. However, I have also heard a lot especially more recently, about faulty ACT disks. The spring dealy likes to break. I dont know, I personally dont want that to happen. I have a buddy with a Exedy he really likes so if I can find one of those with enough clamping force for cheap enough I may go that route. I may end up going with an SBR clutch since they are so damn cheap, but built to take it. The only problem I have with those is they are street disk, I want a sprung 6 puck. I dont know man, there was four names of clutches local dsmer's trust, I will dig them up for you sometime.

Re: Exedy Stage 2 vs. ACT 2100
The exedy stage 2 is bigger than the act 2600 its not imbetween 2100 and 2600. I'm pretty sure. Its not a very streetable disc... Pretty much every person other than myself who had driven my car complains about the clutch but I am used to it and have no problems. I have had both the 2600 and exedy... Exedy is defintely stronger, grippier and seriously more difficult to control.... Exedy FTW

Re: Exedy Stage 2 vs. ACT 2100
FTW = for the win ... I like it more cause it won't break on me like my act did and its really a serious clutch. But since you want a streetable one act 2100. The exedy is really hard to shift evenly especially from a dig. Its soo nice and grippy if you just drop it at lets say 5500rpm though.

Re: Exedy Stage 2 vs. ACT 2100
I haven't heard too much on centerforces... I prefer my Competition Clutch.

2) That disk is more than streetable, have you ever driven one? Is sprung so it works just great. Sure is a bit finicky on starts, but it took me all of about 2 stops to adjust too. Also, the pedal pressure on a Exedy Stage II is barely more than the stock clutch, you just have to finesse the clutch and gas pedals different. I loved the Exedy Stage II, it grips like hell. I would definately recommend it if you are only plannin on like 12-13 second 1/4's if you need to go faster or dont mind the extra pressure, just get a sprung 6 puck disk or sprung 4 puck if they have them.

Re: Exedy Stage 2 vs. ACT 2100
Thor I'm just saying my act 2600 popped like a cheap tent and my exedy is still dropping like its momma was a whore. BUy what you want but a streetble disk is unlikely the exedy.

 ! That's great man. Yeah, I bet the pucked-ness of the exedy is why it grips better. I am considering that as one of my options now...
