best twin-plate??
The TILTON carbon to carbon the only true CARBON TO CARBON on the market by far the best clutch it can handle anything u throw at them... You can slip that clutch for hours and nothing will happen. Pruven Performance sell them at a good price too contact them
ats/carbonetics....this clutch has stock pedal pressure....and it is soo easy to drive.....also you get carbon discs for almost the price of some of the competitors metallic clutches.
"BEST" is a pretty subjective term. If you're making good power and money is no object I'd recommend the Tilton. I've seen GT30/GT35R guys run a myriad of different clutches only to finally settle on the Tilton. But it's super pricey. For big power at a reasonable price "best bang for the buck" I'd do either the ATS Carbon or the Exedy Twin.

Tilton carbon/carbon is the best multi-plate clutch, I dont think anyone will disagree with that... but it's the price of a decent used car...
The Exedy twin HD is a nice clutch.. and it's pretty reasonable..

From what I've researched so far, still on stock clutch personally, I think I'm going to get the Cusco carbonmetallic twin disc. It's made by Exedy so it's practically the same clutch although Cuso uses some kind of different pivot plate in it??? It's supposed to promote even wear on both discs instead of only wearing out one disc, like I've seen some people do with the regular Exedy twins.

The Tilton is hands down the best twin clutch on the market. The thing that people don't factor into the decision is how much each clutch costs to rebuild. The Tilton will go 4 rebuilds for almost nothing. It comes with a thin and a thicker set of steels. You start with the thin ones, and when wear takes you out of spec, you just replace the thins with the thicks. When you wear again, you resurface the posts, and put the thins back in and you're right in spec. When they wear again, in go the thicks.
On top of that, a number of racers whose names you would know have gone entire seasons and hundreds of runs without even needing the first rebuild.
The Tilton is the only true carbon/carbon clutch, which is why it costs more, but if you have a high horsepower car, it's the only real option in the long run.
Did I mention the mechanical superiority of the hydraulic release mechanism?

For myself personally I have been through 3 clutches at 77k miles - Exedy Organic, ACT Street, and Exedy 6-puck ceramic. I think total cost I spent on parts was about $1600-1700 for all 3 clutches, so there is a bit of a price difference between that and the ultra pricey Tilton. My opinion is if you want the very best money can buy Tilton, but if you are on a budget (as I am) look at the Exedy 6-puck or cheaper twin plate.
