i have a carbonetics twin and i love the clutch....the engagement is like stock. The only downside is the noise but driving up and down hills and in traffic is fine with it.

Is the Exedy HD twin easier on your tranny and x-fer case due to the spung hubs or is the Tilton?

The sprung hubs are mainly designed to absord the harmonics/vibrations creted by the engine firing, which would travel to the transmission and cause noise. No damage is created by the solid hubs, only increased transmission noise.

I am almost at the 2 year mark with my Tilton. I am pretty used to driving it on the street. You have to train your foot to find that perfect spot where the tilton will slip at around 1.5k rpm. You can get your car moving fairly easily like that.

ok nm hills would drive me insane lol. To get into my parking garage there is a steep incline and i pretty much launch it to get up. Got a nasty curb rash twice since I having navigate through the entrance pretty quickly. Luckily they fixed the sensor so that i don't have start off at an incline anymore. I just open up the gate from street then go up the parking garage now

I had the exedy twin in my car and there wasn't alot of clutch chatter.. But damn, when I put the exedy triple in.. **** sounds like a tractor when I push the clutch in haha.. It is kinda annoying at stop lights and just shifting gears.. it makes the car sound like there is somthing wrong with it heh.

carbonetics twin ftw!

It took me about 10 seconds to feel it out and it was easy to drive from there...

ACT for the win. These Twin disks simply don't cut it for me IMHO. They wear faster I believe as I have seen MANY threads where they are gone in relatively short periods of Time.

Act works, I had one, NEVER and I mean NEVER let me down. SERIOUS clamp force, does not slip. The Exedy Twin disk has stock clamp force, I prefer the heavier clamp and my next clutch will be an ACT XTSS, it'll hold whatever you want unless you 35R+ torgue then get the Pucked disk, 700+ Foot Pounds of torque, that just owns.
