Quarter Master 8 leg for sure! I've been running them ever since 2008 and the new 8 leg clutch is much improved over the 6 leg. I've ran this clutch going 13s all the way to running 8s currently. Definitely recommend this clutch!

are you racing, or driving on the street? I've had both, and an exedy triple. The QM is a ***** on the street, and great on the track (and cheap to rebuild)

Depends on your use, but we have the QM in stock if you're in need! Also PM me if you have time I would love to get you info on the Comp twins...

I pulled a 10k and 5 launch Exedy out of my old VIII that still looks brand new. It'll go into my IX, and I expect 50k more out of it.

QM holds more and will perform better. Longevity wise it may be a wash (I'll let you know when I need to rebuild) but it is an absolute pain in the d!ck to drive everyday. Its just initial take off....once you are moving its easy.

Even with the clutch actuator mod.....still a PITA

exedy twin for up to 500wtq. after that the QM 8 leg would be better choice. the exedy is waaay more enjoyable to drive. QM sucks taking off in first. I personally couldnt live with the QM. I personally think the ATS triple smokes the two choices you are considering. holds a crapload of power and is butter smooth at take off. smoother than you stock single. and they last forever if you know how to drive. and oooooh the shifting. 900 grams discs are the way forward.
