Yes get one. I've had both in 2 different cars. I would never go back to a ACT no matter what power level.

I primarily hated getting locked out at high rpms with the ACT. Very frustrating in a high performance car (and yes I tried adjusting it many times).

 

what is the average cost for the twin??

 

If its ur dd go with a exedy, i heard its way more forgiving then the qm. My qm hadda go.

 

Exedy twin HD is ~ 1600.00 ish.

I am going to upgrade in the spring, break it in and then slap in the upgrades for 450wheel. Sit on that for a while, build the bottom end and go for high 500's all day. The twin will get some work for sure

 

As soon as you're stock clutch goes, usually somewhere along 50k miles go with a Twin Disk unit such as a Excedy one.

 

i would love to get the twin but my money is really tight and i cant spend 1500 now or even in 6 months. im just gonna get a single exedy organic disk. i never really beat on my evo that much i baby that thing. i can't afford to break something and i prob wont even upgrade the power at all.

 

Depends on how you drive it.

195,500 miles on the original clutch.....

Now looking into an upgrade

 

Gotta agree with this guy. Do it once and then you don't have to worry regardless of what modding path you take.

 

You sir, would make my father proud.

 

x2

 

i did what ur about to do lad.i got the exedy organic disk.regretted it ever since.
pedal is hard as ****,
it was the cheapest option for me,tight for cash at the time
i shuld have went with the twin
as im a mechanic i save on the labour

its up to you lad

 

Lmao... 195,500? Perfect example of the longevity of the Evo and how it can go forever.

 

Seems like lots of folks really push twin disks here.. I personally never drove an Evo with a multi-plate clutch, but I have driven an MK4 Supra Turbo with a Tilton triple disk carbon. Again, can't compare carbon with cerametallic disk, specifically engagement characteristics...the carbon was smooth as butter. No chattering whatsoever, & excellent pedal feel! I've never seen multi-plate cerametallic clutches that have a sprung hub center, so not sure how engagement would be on a multi-disk cerametallic, but on a single disk it is a royal pain! Think ON/OFF switch. On a daily driver, it would be major overkill. Life span was also mentioned, or rather lack of on multi-plate cerametallic clutches...very true.

My clutch of choice was a full face kevlar clutch by WORKS - their CK2 clutch kit. Holds up to 450 ft/lbs of torque, which is plenty! You can feather the clutch at the contact point all day long with no chattering! It does let you know that it wants to grab it quicker though than an organic disk, but still excellent modulation! Life span of carbon or kevlar disk also far exceeds organic or cerametallic too! Works does offer a stage 1 kit that features an organic full face disk that is still capable of handling 400 ft/lbs torque. Best feature about both clutches, is that they maintain stock pedal feel! After I had my CK2 put in, you couldn't tell the difference by pushing the clutch pedal! Very nice feature if you do a stop & go commute! Again, like it was mentioned consider what your needs are. Don't go beyond what you need. You don't go squirrel hunting with an M16 Keep things in proportion with your other mods.

 

For a 300whp car? Stock clutch will be fine assuming you are launching it.

 

you guys do realize that twin disks barely last if daily driven right??? The most those things last is 20-30k miles, now do you really want to rebuild a $1600 clutch after that milage?? oh yeah the rebuild kit is around $1000, so you figure it out. For 300whp to 400whp you will be fine with an act, and i am 1000% sure on that cause i seen that kind of power being put down on a single disk hundreds of time. You might not be able to shift at 8000 rpm with a single disk, BUT at 7500 rpm you will be fine.
