Clutch Choices: QuarterMaster 8 Leg or Comp Triple
I'm really surprised to hear some of you getting such short life. I have over 20k miles on mine. About 15k was in the 350tq range and then 5k in the 600tq range. The car is currently getting a transmission rebuild and the discs are still good. I am replacing the pressure plate and htob. The clutch probably has close to 100 launches on it over 2 seasons at the track. Usually cutting a 1.6x 60ft on streets and mid 11 second passes.
Now for daily driving it is probably not the most friendly clutch. Contact English Racing and ask them about the comp quarter master or the exedy.

If money was no object the ATS/Carbonetics Triple was hands down the BEST clutch I ever had and last a long time.
I'm on a QM 8 leg right now. ITs a PITA to daily drive but you'd be hard pressed to find a clutch that is that cheap and holds that much TQ.

I pulled the trans last weekend, turned out it wasnt the friction material like I had originally thought. The splines/teeth on the discs hub wore out to almost smooth, was just spinning on the input shaft. The discs themselves looked almost new. I would have easily gotten another 15k miles. 30k miles on a twin that is purely daily driven is pretty good IMO

So I am on the QM 8leg. It is so much better than the QM 6leg, however it still has lots of noise idle, decel, accel, cherping, ect. I am on an RS evo so I don't have any sound deading in the car. I also have a solid front mount.
Every once in a while I will stall it, other than that if you rev up to 4k and let the clutch out you will not have any problems.
I have road raced on this clutch, I have daily driven in LA traffic which blows big time. So my car is more or less driven about 40 miles a day. Mostly highway, with mild to moderate traffic, and I am still happy with it.
Hope that helps, it was just a scatter of thoughts.
