Also, post whether you go to the track, how often you drive your evo, and just all the basic info.

Mine has lasted 9 months....about 30 or so digs. Still feels brand new, the track doesnt open until april here so ive only a few months of track time with it. Test n tune is every wed. Other than that my car doesnt come out that much. The clutch has about 4500 miles on it.

Exedy cerametallic twin over 22k miles, daily driver (traffic jams suck, but it's not bad for anything else)

Rarely go to the track, maybe 10 or 12 passes in 2 years.

Love the clutch, but wish I had paid more for a twin carbon.

i've been hearing though that the carbons tend to slip if you don't warm them up.

Twin Carbon. Lasted less than 5k miles. Three high 11 through low 12 second passes at the track. Less than 5k miles of street use is not worth the price tag associated with this clutch.

Hindsight is always 20/20, lol. It was the only clutch Exedy had that I felt would hold 500+whp on a daily basis.

I have had mine for 25,000 miles, installed by pruven. I have been to the track 11 times. Each time I at least run 3-4 times. Countless street runs. Daily driven. I have dealt with rush hour traffic on the goerge washington bridge, and manhattan. Traffic is ruff, but you get used to it.
