yes, did search.....not what i was looking for....

ive narrowed my choices down to these 2 cluthes...
both the dual disk version....

between the exedy and the cusco, which one should i get and why??
anybody have experience with both clutches??

thanks

 

you should get the cusco twin plate clutch because it's carbon and much easier to engage than the exedy, it also costs only about $300 more

 

Yup...the Cusco Carbon Twin Plate...that's what I'm getting after my stock clutch goes bye-bye, or when I'm going for big power...

 

The cusco is made by exedy and the carbon twin plates should be out very very soon from what exedy tells me.

ya its ONLY 300 bucks MORE hahaha shoot thats almost half a new intercooler...
or almost an ACT

-non

 

I got the HKS GD max twin disc 1.76 60 foot love it..

 

you will not see Exedy carbon clutches anytime soon in this country, that much I can tell you (only for the 350Z)

We've got the Cusco's ready to go if you would like!

 

haha i was gonna say that...exedy makes cusco..and they mark em up...both will have the same performance

 

Whoa.. Foreals?.. Exedy makes cusco?.. Like same company?.. I dont think so..

 

I still say ATS. Yes its a pretty penny but much better than a cusco or exedy. If I had to choose between the two (exedy vs cusco) I'd say cusco. It has a much nicer engagement plus it's has carbon plates.

 

Here is a picture of my (soon to be installed by Dan at Godspeed)Cusco twin disk carbon clutch, I think this settles the "who makes it" question

Yes Cusco makes Exedy..and a few others too...it does have its differences though, disks being one of them.

As I said,m carbon Exedy clutches are out in Japan for awhile....and tons more money than Cusco's currently trade at.

ATS makes excellent units too (we also sell them, all the specs are on our site so you can see how they all compare). Is it "better" than Cusco or Exedy? I would argue a strong no - lots comes down to matter of taste and what exactly you need the unit for. The Cusco is very driveable, holds all the power most every Evo owner will realistically make. Same goes for Exedy.

ATS holds a bunch more, though the entry price is higher

 

" got the HKS GD max twin disc 1.76 60 foot love it"--- stock clutch 1.74 60"!

 

Hey Matt,

You pulled 1.74's on your stock clutch. That is pretty good. Does it stink real bad when you launch like that? Mine sure did?

the only reason I would say to go with the cusco is b/c their carbon clutch is already out is usa. I think z1 is only AUTHORIZED cusco dealer in country(?), but I know on this board they are the only one. Anyway, ATS is THE clutch to get. Best reason is because it is a push-type clutch, much better IMO. It is only like 375 more the cusco double carbon...ATS holds more power, is better clutch, save for the ATS, if you're going to spend that much, you might as well spend a little more a get the best. If I didn't go with ATS...maybe OS Giken which is also push, or Ogura Racing. They are used for racing in Japan. My $.02
