( mine is welded) (I did break my center diff but nothing else)
I was under the impression ours was 2 spider as well. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Sure. They suck just as bad as the USDM ones. Currently on twin-plate OS Giken and loving it....

1st off the car is not made for 6000rpm launches its a rally car. if your clutch breaks under 15,000 and you are *****in and complaining. think about all the launches you did. my buddy put a act 2600 in a 2g gsx the beging of summer and will need to put another one in next summer. awd is not meant for launching but we americans all thing about drag racing and thats it. anyone that has had an awd before can tell you you do alot of launches on any clutch its not gonna last long.

*PS get the ss clutch line

I don't think the clutch is that bad stock. I have launched mine a bunch of times and autox'ed at 6 events. So far I have 9000 miles without the restrictor removed and without a ss line.
Half the problems are the drivers not the car
