i'm know ME but I do know that two discs = twice the surface area. even though the exedy discs are smaller diameter then stock there are two of them so you don't need to use an aggressive material to hold more power like you would on a single disc.

I've been there/done that with metalic discs already. if you are trying to launch a car on slicks they're great, but for a daily driven street car its no fun. combine that with a light weight FW and it just gets worse.

Its important to know what you expect to get out of the car and pick a clutch that works with that in mind. when you're talking about clutches there's always going to be a trade off. whether its pedal pressure, how it grabs, the amount of tq you can hold, ect. what you should really do is drive a car that has the type of clutch you're looking for and see how you like it.

Dude, all I have to say is CLEAN!!!! You're evo is nice man. You were on the complete opposite side of where I was parked. I didn't know who you were and noone was standing by your car when I checked it out. I've been iffy about carbon fiber lately but it looks so sweet on WW. Your trunk fits pretty tight for being carbon fiber. Is is SEIBON? If it is thken I'm suprised it fits that well. I don't know if you've seen mine but you've probably heard it. It's pretty aggressive sounding at idle. I'll have to catch up with you next time.
