109K miles!

Well, after 109k miles, 30+ track days, and 6 years on the car, my ACT HDSS finally gave up. Obviously, I was happy with the performance of the clutch and Josh has already put a new one in the car. I know that KevinD recommends them as he had a couple on his white car. If you are looking for a reliable DD clutch, look no further than ACT!

P.S. I never had the "lockout" issues that some have reported, but I did not drag the car either.

I'd say it led a pretty good life!

Kevin, you obviously need to learn how to drive... granny shifting, not double clutching like you should.

Awesome, I got over 4 years 52k on my HDSS and it's still going. But with only few launches and rarely spirited driving. Looking to get a new disk next summer possibly. But it's a decent clutch I say!
