just browse the for sale section and look how many low mile exedy twins there are for sale.that will give you an idea how good they are how much people like them.

You will be more fine on most pucked single discs and or and exedy twin cerametallic incase you plan on making more power down the road. It is a matter of personal preference on clutches. either competition or exedy will do a great job im sure.

I'd run an act again I'm running act hdss with prolite flywheel, I'd make sure unless u've done it already swap your clutch lines to ss. Me I've got over 400 hp and I'm past 40 k myself. For a dd unless your high hp stay with a single disc style.....pucks n twins n triple suck in traffic. Haha

+1 I ripped out the clutch on my new-to-me evo at 30,000 and the ACT was worn almost to the rivets. My Comp clutch works beautifully and I would recommend it to anybody
