2 plates. The exedy twin plate (not carbon) ceramic is twice as thick as stock clutch. I personally dont like the idea of putting in the same material clutch as the stock one. But o well..

Same here. Daily driven for over 25k miles on the Exedy twin (ceramic). Only issue is the decel rattle. When this one is gone I will get another one

I HIGHLY recommend installing a front poly mount when you do the clutch. I recently installed one and overall driving/shifting is improved.

I want something that can withstand the abuse iam gonna give it, and iam pretty sure thats what the ATS Twin Carbon will do.

well I hope you know that the clutch is intentionally weak to protect other more expencive parts of the drivetrain. So if you upgrade it to withstand your abuse you are just diverting it to the next weakest link. have fun changing that

This is another reason why iam getting the ATS Twin Carbon, because the more you slip it the better it grabs. And when you slip the clutch it takes off the abuse from other parts like the Tcase.
