Hi everyone,

So I've contacted Cobb, Massimo Power and RRE about doing my clutch and CMC install. All shops quoted me very similar prices. Any opinions on which shop I should choose based on your past experiences?

Also, havn't fully decided on the clutch yet..
ACT HDSS/Comp stage 2/Comp stage 3.
Anyone have suggestions?

I want a clutch that will LAST. Increased pedal pressure doesn't bother me.
Nothing will compare to the pedal pressure of the clutch I had in my 99 Civic si, lol.
That thing split release forks in half! It was probably overkill, I know..

In any case, the car is a 2012 EVO GSR, stock block w/ all bolt ons, 330hp/315tq mustang dyno (FFTEC), planning on going FP red in the future. No plans to build block for quite a while so the clutch won't see TQ over 375 or so.

I'd love to hear your opinions!
Thanks in advance

 

Comp clutch 3.5 and make sure clutch pull removed and resurface flywheel

 

Thanks for the reply. Yes, pill removed and resurface OEM flywheel is the plan.

 

segmented Ceramic one not Kevlar one

 

And update cmc but I'm doing fine on factory recall replacement but it is still plastic and act mono clip as well

 

Can't comment on which shop to choose.

But I have the competition stage 3 clutch with the upgraded flywheel and the thing grabs like a ****. Don't quite have 10k miles on it yet. It it quite stiff, much stiffer than the stock clutch.

Probably quite a bit overkill for my set-up TBH. I probably should have gone for stage 2 in hindsight, but oh well.

 

Oh, and FFTEC did my clutch install, which is who appears to have done your tune... so you must have relocated to SoCal since then? Since they are located in Hayward?

 

Previous owner had it tuned up there. He used to live in the Bay area.

 

If you're in SoCal look into Cobb or Evasive Mororsports

 

RRE did my clutch and it has been great. I think you can't go wrong with either of them because they have been doing Evo clutches since forever. Just don't bring it to shop that ask "is that turbo?".

 

LOL

 

Super late response but go to Cobb. As much as people talk about RRE, I have an acquaintance who has had less than stellar things to say about them and he's given them more than a handful of opportunities to change the stigma. I'm sure they would do a great job, but the last 3 years of taking my car to Cobb have been nothing but pleasurable.
