You can't go wrong with either the Exedy Double Clutch or the Exedy Triple Clutch. I would suggest you purchase the Exedy double clutch primarily and if it suites you well then there's no need to get the triple Exedy. Plus you only need to buy an extra clutch disc instead of the whole kit to convert the Exedy double clutch to a triple clutch.

I agree with the above. What kind of driving do you primarily do? Is this a track car? drag car? weekend warrior? daily?

Before everyone suggests going twin right off the bat, what kind of driving do primarily do? Are you at the track on the regular basis?
As far as twin disc clutch...go with Competition. For easier daily driving go with the Competition Stage 4.

Exedy twin is the best, equally good for the track & daily driving.

Agreed, I really like Competition clutches, I've had one in every one of my cars. Never had a single issue at all.

I've had a exedy twin and an ACT HDSS...you can pretty much bang gears with the twin w/out high rpm lockout. If u have the extra coin go with the twin. I have one fs that needs rebuilt I'll sell u for cheap if that's the route you choose to go

Exedy Twin hands down. Daily or not the clutch drives and holds power great especially at that level of power! Don't cheap the one thing that puts the power to the wheels IMO. Best of luck.
