Best clutch for a 500hp street car??
Im a strong beleiver on if you know how to drive the car right the clutch will last alot longer then you or anyone expects. My stock clutch was still good when i took it out of the car at 75k miles and has was launched several times. i had people telling me that stock clutches dont last near that many miles. as for the triple ive seen people on this forum having them last from under 10k miles to over 60k. im at 40k on my triple and theres nothing wrong with it

one does not simply buy an evo and expect it to be quiet. lol if its not the clutch making noise, its gonna be the loud thuds from every tiny pot hole in the road. lol on a more serious note, i use an exedy twin hd, and it reaallllyyy takes some abuse. back to back launches and not even a little slip.

good luck with that crap. I wouldn't waste my money. In fact i won an exedy stage 2 single disc for the evo vs sti shootout and i sold it. so even if i had one given to me... still worthless.
hey, heres my opinion on comp stage 2....
I shredded my ACT clutch in april, I ordered the comp stage 2 from lancershop and installed it in early May. During the time from may until june 30 I drove the hell out of it and launched it etc. It held fine. basic bolt ons with definitely less that 400 hp. During that time my transfer case started whining(due to mitsu giving me the wrong weight tcase fluid), I took the car to Shep to have the tcase and tranny done. they called me and said that the pressure plate that I had (comp stage 2) had warped significantly. Not noticable during driving or at all for that matter, but, would without a doubt cause damage in the near future. So, with all that said and a clutch i had installed only 2-3 months prior, do I think you should get Comp stage 2? ABSOLUTELY NOT.
