ACT IMHO is the best all around clutch. The ACT clutch is nice and stiff from the floor to the engagement. I had a Hayame and hated it. The clutch was soft and as you let it out it would kick your foot out at a certain point. It grabbed hard and did the job though. As far as Clutchmaster's, I've heard nothing but bad things about em. One of my boys had one and constantly whined about it and it gave out on him so he got an ACT.

It really depends on what eth car is used for and what your power goals are for the car. I'd reccomend anything for a stock one form checker to a tilton multidisc setup, but I don't know what you're looking to accomplish with this.

if you just want a something nice to drive and have a little more muscle to handle more power, then a regular heavy duty plate with a street(organic)disc should be fine.

Contact me for pirces if needed.

Re: clutch questions

I talked to tony from jotech and colin @ RPM NYC both recommended a clutchmasters stage 4 to me, it grabs nicely and isn't too hard on the leg for daily driving.

ACT

no complaints here...

u have to get used to it, but it only takes about 10-15 minutes and u relearn the engagement point and how harsh it really is. if someone tells u that its a bitch to drive in traffic...they don't know how to drive. all good reviews from me

if not ACT, i'd have gone centerforce, heard nothing but good things about them from my friens w/ them as well.
