well, do you want a comfy clutch in traffic or one that's gonna hold 450whp and hold up for a while?

Just stick with a stock clutch! For regular comfortable feel.

man the act is good for 450whp.... i have one in my IX and i beat the hell out of it with no problems... feels just like stock except alot stiffer clutch feel. My friend has the twin disk in his 450whp sti but i hate the damn thing. it holds up great but it absolutley sucks in traffic. Both are good. If money is no concern go with the twin but if you want a reliable clutch for around 600 go with act.

Like I said before stick with a stock clutch they are pretty good! They can last forever or just a few thousands miles. Depending on your style of driving.

so you're saying the stock clutch will take 400-475whp reliably and last just as well as an aftermarket unit?

i can't imagine that a stock clutch would withstand the abuse in a 401whp car let alone 475. Obviously there are some drag launches and the like, or his current clutch would hold up. No suggestions here since i have 61K on my stocker.
