Nah there both great every agrees on that. They seem to hold up and i havent seen or heard anything negative. If you want a street disc or stock like feel and driving with out the 1800 twin disc option go with the ACT and Flywheel Combo.

I'm running the ACT street disc and HD pressure plate with the 13 lb ACT steel flywheel. I've got a mild boost increase with an ECU tune, so I'm not putting down huge power numbers. Works great for the street. Pedal pressure is noticeably higher, but not annoyingly so. Engagement is quiet and smooth. It will hold a full throttle launch off the launch limiter, unlike the stock clutch. The lighter flywheel made the engine a little more responsive and made heel and toe downshifting a breeze, without sacrificing driveablility. If I did track days on a regular basis I would have gotten the 11 lb flywheel instead.

I'd suggest exedy clutches..I have the ACT HDSS and it does lockout at high rpms. The pedal is alil harder, but you'll get used to it over time. After I had it installed, my 3rd gear synchro went out, can't say it was the clutch though. I believe the stock is an exedy. Just my opinion though, next time I need a clutch I'm going with exedy.
