hello, im in need of a new clutch and i cant decide between the ACT HDSS or the new Fidanza 3.2 There is not many reviews for the fidanza but it seems to be a very well made clutch. i also like the idea of the kevlar material on the fidanza. its a dd car, with tbe, mbc, pump, intake and flash. im currently swaping out a exedy stage 1, how is the pedal feel of the other 2 as compared to this one? and im lookin for the longest lasting one as well. if anybody has some input on these 2 clutches, please help me decide

 

no help?

 

have you read the review??

check socalevo.net for other reviews as well.

why are you swapping out the Exedy stage 1??

 

yea, i have read that, but it doesnt really give me the info im lookin for. i need to know if its really a good clutch, its kida a one sided opinion more that facts, kinda?
my exedy is slipping, BAD. i can dump the clutch from first and hold the brake and the car will just idle...

 

ive put 2 hdss in its plenty decent for its price, but next time im def swaping a twin disk in or else tilton if i can front the cash, my buddy's had his act hdss clutch for about 2 years now and on countless launches so its holding up good on a complete bolt on evo 8 with cams.

 

it does seem to be a very good clutch. what is this i hear about "lockout" with the act? and what is the longevity of the kevlar compared to the act material? (what is the act ss disc made of?)

 

lockout is caused by people not adj. the pedal travel.. i had hdss in my 03. was a good clutch. but i will deff. be going with the fidenza 3.2 with there flywheel for my 05.

i didnt like the hdss that much to get one for my 05. the fidenza looks very promising.

 

it does look like a good clutch but im just worried about any unknown problems, considering it just came out and theres not many running it.

 

anybody have experience with kevlar material clutches?

 

My advice to you is search about the ACT hdss. Read the pros and cons and then make your choice.

 

i have done that as well... its weighing pretty even

 

more info please

 

I would go with ACT just because a lot more people have used the products made by them.

 

i might try to get mine rebuilt, any suggestions for that?

 

well mine is getting rebuilt with a 6 puck, 3 kevlar, and 3 ceramic. ill post pics tomorrow when i get it
