Clutch question

My friend has minor mods, possibly more in the near future, or not. Which clutch should he use, daily driver, more fun than not when driving it, also needs to last a long time. Any info would be great.

What kind of mods/power does he have? Is it mainly a DD or does he track it a good amount? What's his budget?

An ACT single disc will last a good bit of time on a mildly modded street car w/ once in a while track time....add a decent amount of track time and it'll get eaten up reasonably quick. If that's the case, an Exedy or Tilton twin disc is a good solution. Add power and you'll have the same results.

I can sell your friend an Exedy MM022SD clutch real cheap since I just sold my EVO before I needed to replace the clutch.

Not to throw stones but the ACT will hold up to track time.

200+ drag passes and some 300 miles on road courses here, plus 50k miles here.

I have ZERO issues with the ACT single discs. I actually love them. Unfortunately many people find ways to smoke them pretty quickly at the strip. I've been running the ACTs on my high HP DSMs for years w/o issue.

Its all in how you drive. Crappy driving skills (shifting/launching) will kill any clutch no matter the price.

Im getting my ACT clutch put in as we speak, but i have drive with it before and ive dealt with the Cusco carbon clutch in evos. Both great clutches, but if i had the money i would have gone with the Cusco! Incredibly smooth engagement for such a beefy clutch!
