Comp Clutch stage 2 clutch kit vs rigid clutch kit
Hey guys, I'm new here. So far, really like this forum; It's filled with great info. From what I've gathered Comp's stage 2 clutch has 2 options 1 being the normal clutch kit and the other a rigid clutch kit. I gave them a call and the rigid kit has springs on the disc and the other does not (doesn't make sense to me, but that's what she said). I'm assuming it makes the clutch pedal a bit stiffer. My question is does anyone have experience with both kits and can tell me the pros/cons, which you prefer, and why?
Thanks in advance and sorry if this has been covered. Tried multiple searches and didn't find anything related to the rigid vs regular setup.

Hey Welcome aboard. I not that well versed in clutches. Ive been running the ACT HDSS in my EvO
Seems, from what ive seen on the boards, many of us run the ACT
Now, there are many members running hi pwr setups that run the Exedy twins & other higher performing assemblies
What kind of power is yours making?

Thanks for the replies guys. At the moment I’m not sure what it’s putting down. Just got her a week ago and trying to get things lined out before a tune. Feels stock with a possible tune already. I’m not planning on going any higher than 350-400 whp/wtq for a while.

Just my $.02:
For about ten years, I ran solid-disk 6-puck clutches (ACT) and did fine daily driving. Everyone else would stall the car, but I was used to it. At first my focus was drag racing, so I feel the solid disk was appropriate, but then I started road racing. This was over those years, in different cars, with HD and XT pressure plates.
My last two clutches have been sprung "street disks". One was an Exedy (I will never buy again-the only time I used a non-ACT clutch) and my current is an HDSS. It drives around town like stock and grips well enough for the occasional Autocross launch. The sprung disk is quieter, easier to drive; it really makes no sense not to get it unless you are a hard-core drag racer and launching the crap out of the car all the time.

The one I had (I actually paid for an ACT but the ******* put in an Exedy; the ONE time I let someone work on my car for me) and it shattered on me. One of the springs in the clutch disk came loose and jammed up the pressure plate. Took half a day to get everything apart. I've never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever had any issues with ACT, over four different platforms, so I stick with them. Just preference, really.

My current set up is slipping bad, so anything is better than what I have now. Since I just purchased the car, I have no idea what the previous owner installed. I’ve had a few ACT’s on other vehicles and haven’t been disappointed. Looking forward to it.
