Getting ready to grab a new clutch for the eclipse as its starting to slip from the increase in power from recent mods, but unsure what I wanna get… My goal is 500whp and only 500whp… Im going to daily my shit, I have no desire to run 1,000whp so I dont think theres a need for a twin disk… So far im thinking a South bend is the best bet, but what do you guys think? ---

I had an ACT heavy duty pressure plate and their street disk (full, not pucked) in my Subaru and it was good. I only had 300awhp, so you may need one of their pucked clutch disks, at the minimum. ---

The “best” clutch is different for each owner and application. The engines torque and driving style should be the primary consideration for what will work best and provide a good service life. Sounds like a single plate puck clutch will be the most practical option. My recommendation would be to stick with a quality brand that has sfi approved parts. I have no personal experience with south bend, but ACT has a pretty good track record for mitsu stuff as well as others. ---

I had a clutch master stage 5 and now have a competition clutch stage 5. Both are good in my book. ---

Best one is the one that doesn’t slip. After installing a couple dozen DSM/Evo clutches I can vouch the best one for 99% of these cars is the ACT lineup. Greddy twin disk is a pile of shit. Avoid it. Modulates like crap and doesn’t last for shit if you DO slip it. Plenty of other clutches out there that will hold more power and whatnot, but are completely unnecessary in this application.
