^ I've got the Stage 2 sprung and it's perfectly fine for a DD. I had an Exedy stage 1 before and it was great as well, had a much stiffer pedal with the Exedy.

so would you pick the CC stage 2 over the exedy stage 1 anyday? Just wondering because my stock clucth is about to give up on me and debating whether to get the CC stage 2 or the EXEDY stage 1.

I would get the CC stage 2 over the Exedy stage 1. The Exedy was great, held my power fine, but couldn't hold anything for a launch. Haven't launched the CC stage 2, but hear it holds much better. Both are great clutches, but I wanted something with more holding capacity.

The Exedy stage 1 is pretty much just a stock clutch. The comp will do a better job at holding a launch and more hp.

I have the sprung stage 2 comp. Not impressed with it in the least. Still has shifting issues at high RPM.


Don't waste your time, just go twin.

How fresh is your trans? Is the clutch properly adjusted?

The purpose of this thread was the unsprung which is much better then the sprung at high rpm shifting.

I would do this clutch over a Exedy twin since they have upper plate warping problems that will cause clutch dragging and lock out.

You are right in you cant compare this to a 7.25in twin in abuse and shifting but as a better alternative to current single disc its a great option at a good price.

There is no perfect clutch yet but comp and us are working on it.

trans 37k and yes. I had an OS Giken twin in my last evo. I didn't realize how good it was until my last few years of this. I think next time I will go with the quartermaster 8-leg, and freshen up the tranny for good measure and be done with it.

I got ya. Just sharing my opinion and experience on the sprung version of this clutch. This might swing a few people over to the unsprung version as this clutch can experience the dreaded lock-out in the sprung version.

I am in the market for a new clutch as the triple now has around 40K on it, but no launches, not slipping yet so just in the market... Would this be a viable option for a DD 2.4 with around 550HP, or do I need to look at other options such as the QM 8 leg?

I'm really keen to try an unsprung stg 2 clutch, but i'm concerned about the torque holding ability.
I'm running a 2.3 with stock turbo and 4.111 final drive.
I'm currently about 400whp, with the hopes to run up to 500whp in the near future.
It is used on the street, and I will be using it for road racing soon.

I've got a 3400lb pressure plate, and trying to decide between the stg 2 or stg 3 clutch plate.

Have English Racing tried the stg 3 disc?

They did offer a replacement flywheel that was a little lighter than stock. I will track down the part number and cost.

You know I am not 100% sure. I will find out though and post back.
