I just had a 6 puck ACT installed, not broken in yet, but I am already happy with it. I would recommend it for sure. Good luck. cvm07 ---

I’ve had a flawless experience with the ACT stage 1 as far as I can recall, been close to 2 years. Never slipped, rather light pedal throw, solid engagement that can be feathered. Equally as important as the brand is to make sure the install is done well, the OEM/Koyo bearing is used (or so i’ve heard), and that the clutch is broken in carefully and capable of holding the power you’re planning. There should be no issues then. ---

i had a SPEC Stage III and it sucked. It chattered after less than 2 full years, mind you that was 40,000km’s on it. I had it rebuilt by Eurodrive and it’s been okay for about 5,000km’s ---

i use an RPS MAX 6 puck. just finished the break-in and tracked it on sunday. performed flawlessly. it does have a heavy pedal throw and grabby engagement, however. not for the faint of heart, i guess… ---

I sent out the stock unit to Euro-drive and had a six puck kevlar, sprung disk. Pressure Plate was rebuilt with a 50% hold increase. PP is a bit stiff but its only annoying in heavy traffic. Well over 25,000km on it without a single issue. ---

shameless plug… I’ve got an SR core lying around for eurodrive… haven’t heard anyone complain about eurodrive… I have yet to try out my 3 puck, installed it and parked the car. But it’ll be grabby, when I was fussing with it, it felt as though when it grabbed it would move the car off a jack stand. Couldn’t tell you the brand. ---

I got the same clutch as DFJ, the ACT organic street with heavy duty pp, and fidanza lightweight flywheel. It rocked, but then again that was on stock KA. ---

I’m currently running the Center Force Dual Friction, very nice streetable clutch if you make less then 300lbs at the crank. Its a little noisy but most poeple wouldn’t notice. Very good light pedal feel and it has never chattered once. My next clutch will be the one walters running, except it will be for a real motor. 😛 ---

yeah RPS is more expensive than ACT in my experiecnce. They can also take alot longer to get. I know that i was waiting upwards of 8 weeks for a KA and SR clutch last year for Robbby and Pat. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/what-clutches-do-people-use-and-like/107802.md?page=2)
