Best clutch for 450whp?
Hello,
I would like you guys to help me out get a good clutch. I'm installing FP RED and going for 450whp, with the possibility of going with 500whp in the future. My car is not a daily driver. I've heard alot of good stuff about excedy twin, but I would like to know if there are any other options. Thanks alot.

Guess this has been a unanimous descision! Excedy twin with STM fork...
Also, is there any difference with installing a twin clutch disc with a regular clutch? Should I do it myself or should I call a shop?

My setup is running an FP red at 28 psi on the ACT in my Evo and the ACT seems to be holding just fine. The act has a much lighter feel than the exedy I drove and seems to more apt for the street. little easier to slip coming from a stop than the exedy

I have an ACT on mine and it is much nicer than the exedy twin I have driven on evos... that said, I have used carbonetic twin discs on another application (my TT 350Z) and that is what I will be getting when my ACT needs to be replaced. The carbonetics doesn't seem to get much attention here, but blows the Exedy out of the water for the 350Z in terms of modulation, pedal feel, and longevity

I have driven Z's and Evos with the exedy and didn't like them.... even compared to the ACT I currently have. Now consider it is 1/3 the price of the exedy, and has better feel (at least to me) and it can't be TOO bad of an option.Both are bested by the carbonetics.
I know the exedy is widely used with evos, but IMHO not a clutch I personally would pay nearly 2 grand for. everyone is free to buy what they like. based on my experience my money will be spent on carbonetics

Thanks alot for all the info! As for the installation I have done some work with my previous cars, but have never pulled down a transmission. With that said, and now that I think about it, I don't have the tools or space to pull off something like that...
Nice to hear there is another option... Anyone else can tell me more or give me more info on the carbonetics?
