Looking for a new clutch setup
Looking for a new clutch setup
I'm currently running
-Clutchnet sprung 4 puck disc
-ACT pressure plate
-Fidanza Flywheel
This clutch is pretty harsh on the street i daily drive this so im looking to switch to something else that can handle the power of a little more than 350 wtq looking to make more power soon, so anybody have a clutch that they would recommend I don't mind spending the money on something nice

At that power level I would recommend:
ACT HDSS or ACT XTSS

Im liking that carbonetic's pro blade
I have had the ACT HDSS and I now have the XTSS. I haven't had any lock out issues with either clutch (only 2000 miles on the XTSS clutch), but I do have the SS braided clutch lines, shifter bushings, and solid motor mounts which all help prevent lock out.
The HDSS lasted for approximately 20,000 miles (mostly 380HP/350TQ Dynojet power level) and failed right after I installed the FP Green turbo. I don't consider that too bad.
I've only had the XTSS clutch installed for 2,000 miles. The pedal pressure with the XTSS is somewhat harder than the HDSS, but it's not too bad. The XTSS grabs much harder when starting out in 1st gear, so it takes a bit of getting used to. I have no idea how long it will last, but so far so good.

No reason to go so agressive at that power level. Xtss is way overkill. Stick with something like the hdss or something with a full face disc and a sprung hub. Stay away from 6 pucks.
I put an HDSS in on of my Evo's and loved it. I put an XTSS in the other, and love it too. To me it drives just like the HDSS, with a bit stiffer pedal. I used the Streetlite flywheel in both cases. Id highly recommend either.
As a side note, I've put the HDSS in 3 of my friends' cars in the last couple months, and so far they all like them.

I had a HDSS installed fairly recently. I looked at other options and decided on this clutch, because it's a known animal. Having been here for a while and seen numerous clutch reviews, mostly glowing, then followed up some months later with a report of failure, I didn't want to take any chances. FWIW, I'm very happy with the ACT. Good luck.
