Hi everyone!
I own Evo 9 GT with around 550 nm engine torque. Car is daily driven, launch and flat foot shift are on a rare occasions, but high rpm shifting takes place often)) Looking for a new clutch installation.
Currently I use Cusco metal twin plate clutch - pedal feels heavy enough and it engages pretty sharp. Overall, I'm ok with this clutch, but at the same time I want to experience more comfortable drive with the same durability and torque capacity (or even more). I've looked through some options:
1. Cusco twin copper
2. Exedy HD (same as Cusco twin metal)
3. ACT Heavy duty PP + street sprung organic single disk (up to 700+ nm)
4. ORC 659d which is twin ceramic
Preferably it should be twin or triple disk for proper engagement at high rpm shifting, cost up to 2K. Please, advise based on your experience suitable clutch options.

 

ACT hd pp + sprung disk (ACT-ME2-HDSS kit) would be perfect for you. I just had mine installed last weekend and it is great. Pedal feels similar to stock clutch and engagement is nice and smooth after putting some miles on it.

 

OS Giken R2CD should be on your list, too. Light pedal with decent engagement, good torque capacity and it's not too hard on transmission parts.

 

ACT suppose to hold decent amount of torque having smooth engagement which is perfect for daily driven car)

 

So, about 400ftlbs. All you need is an ACT HDSS.

 

Yup just had an ACT HDSS put in my car and it feels great

 

Thanks! I've already ordered ACT HDSS clutch with ACT flywheel.
