so do you think the stage 4 would be a good kit for a max of 500 hp? I am also looking for a clutch kit. I think the spung 6 puck disc would be best. The 4 puck will wear faster if im correct and all though the price for the 4 puck is cheaper for that reason... Lets hear your opinions. I also drive this everyday and i am installing a shepard transmission at the same time.

For a daily driver, get a good twin. Sure you can get singles that will hold power, but at the cost of wear and tear... and drivability.

This is actually a false rumor! He was simply an outside salesman for Clutch Masters. Another fact is that we do have the twin disc applications for the EVO, we offer a street twin as well as a race twin.
Just thought I would clear that up.

I would personally find some info on the new CM twins would be interesting, but be careful as they are not a registered vendor. I'm esp fond of Kevlar for street applications.

Yes, it's actually a Kevlar/organic hybrid material, the FX600 (street twin). The website is not up to date with the EVO applications, you will have to call our main shop for availability info on those kits, (909) 877-6800.

Travis,

You will have to pull all your links until when/if you become a registered vendor... sorry, forum rules.

I went from a Competition Clutch 6 puck copper to a Clutch Masters Kevlar (Stage 3) - and the results are f*cking amazing.

The difference in driveability and holding torque is unreal. The copper would shudder in 1st gear - every time. And with the lightwieght flywheel I was running - the shuddering was worse than on a stock flywheel.

I kept the lightweight flywheel and changed over to the Stage 3 Kevlar - and all the shuddering went away. My pedal pressure went back to stock b/c of the high leverage PP. The car truly drives like it has a stock clutch - yet it can hold more tq than the copper 6 Puck. Unreal.. I was seriously blown away. ANd the kevlar lasts 4 times longer and is easier on your flywheel.

So let's review - there is no shuddering, the pedal pressure is like stock, it holds more tq, its easier on the flywheel and it last longer. Sounds like a freaking wish list. I can't say enough about how happy I am. Seriously!

This is on my SR20DET, GT28RS NX2000.

When my IX needs a clutch - I'm getting the Kevlar twin disk.

Sorry Zeus, I am not trying to thread jack or place advertisements, just clearing up the alleged misconceptions. As far as becoming a registered vendor, I cannot register Clutch Masters as a vendor as that would cause direct competition with our distributors on the forum, for example, UltraRev. I am simply here for technical support for our product. On the other hand I would be happy to support the forums with advertising and such, just pm me with more info.

Thanks,

smokinJoe, I am glad to hear that you are lovin the clutch! I do have to mention that you have the stage 3 Kevlar kit as our stage 4 is a ceramic type clutch, but all is true with the stage 3, it will hold the power while keeping the stock pedal feel and smooth engagement with extra long life!

You can contact UltraRev, pro motion, or any of our other dealers who are supporting vendor here. As I stated in the above post, the stage 3 is the Kevlar clutch. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks,
