2 disc clutch for evo 8 wich one?

I have been searching around a bit for a bolt on clutch for evo 8 but i haven't really found anything yet.

Shep trans has a really nice clutch setup (quartermaster 2 disc)
But quartermaster doesn't have bolt on for newer evos.

So is there any easy way to rebuild the clutch fork so it pushes instead ?

Yes i know there are many clutch kits.
what i want to know is if there's any rebuild kit so i can mount a push clutch.

Act must be the worst clutch i have ever had.

After going through the OEm clutch, a Comp CPlutches stage 2 (horrid) and South bend DXD (Decent), I bit the bullet and installed a Cabonetics twin disk. It comes with the hardware for the push conversion.

My Evo is now a dedicated track car, 7K+ RPM shifts every lap, over and over. The carbonetic drives almost like the OEM clutch, but holds power without any issues and shifts like butter. Outside of the small diameter drag racing clutches, it has about the lowest rotating mass on the tranny input shaft availible in a full sized easily drivable clutch. And that mean great shift quality and better synchro life.

However, it does have one drawback. If you want to launch the car, the clutch has to be at operating temp or you will damage the carbon friction material. So it is not popular with the drag racing crowd.

The only question I have is why did i waste the time and money on those other clutches.
