That is certainly an advantage of the ATS clutch from many people's perspective, though honestly, for 90% of the people, they would never know it was a push vs pull unless you told them...there is a place for either one depending on your usage of the car.

HKS= ORC as far as i can recall (might be mistaken there but don't think so).

HKS used to be an AWESOME valued clutch for the money before 12/31/03. After than, the price took a $500 increase in MSRP, while at the same time dealer discounts dropped an average of 10%, so what was once a bargain no longer is...still a very quality unit though.

Exedy actually makes some clutches under the Cusco and Power Enterprise brand name. For what it's worth, I think Cusco carbon-faced twin-plate is the best value for the money.

Adam is right... the HKS unit used to be a good value but is rather overpriced now.

boostcreep - good question, and its one we get everyday! The great thing about this twins is the fact that by using two disks (twice the friction material), you can actually use a pressure plate with less clamp load - this translates into a nice light pedal, but huge amouns of grip.
