Help choosing clutch for 03 evo 8
i only say exedy 3200 because i've ran it for 2 years now @500+whp and over 480wtq and it's still running strong, never had a problem and i beat the sh*t out of my car on my daily drive to work.
never ran an exedy or even pushed in a clutch with an exedy behind it, but it sounds like they're great clutches. i guess it really comes down to how much you want to spend and maybe a little brand loyalty. good luck with your decision!

just remember to use about 4 wave rings in the wedge collar assembly on the pressure plate so it doesnt prematurely pop off on you on a hulk shift.

my 0.02 im runnin similar hp too, im running act hdss with prolight flywheel, buy the SS upper and lower clutch lines at same time, helps with consistent pedal feel, with my clutch setup im currently 30k + on the clutch one auto x event one drag strip day and other then lately waitin on my retune from parts installed, sees WOT at least once if not more a day.
my goal is 450hp and over 320tq i've being reading and i have pmed a few shops to ask about the ACT XT i've ran act on my hondas. Although this is 4wd lol but like i said about my goal for the car and i do drive it everyday, right now my stock clutch is slipping like crazy man sux.

The Exedys are great. There is a new clutch that just came out that is getting some great reviews. The Carbonetics Carbon Blade. It is said to our preform the Twins and its about 500 dollars cheaper. people are saying the drivablity is amazing, possibly due to how the kit changes your set up from a pull to push style throw out.
Curt doesn't recommend the blade anymore until he does further testing with carbonetics on it. although for 320wtq goal.. i think he would say its good to go. just not 450wtq+
A friend of mine was going to give me his Act HD pp all i had to do was get was a street disc
which i found for $160 at a local shop but i think XT would be best. So i asked the shop how much for the Act XT kit they said $585 total not bad.

^^so u know the hdss clutch kit as long as the pressure plate is good, has a better chance of no lockouts compared to the XT... my 0.02 ive only been locked out only once and that was on the drag strip goin into 3rd gear. 30K + and countin on mine. so good luck and hope u make the right choice.
yup do a search, there are people that have reports of some lockout issues with the hdss but not nearly as much as the XTSS, and if your replacing your clutch, do the SS lines, bar none has helped with making mine last.
