I m looking for a new clutch and i m debating over the excedy stage 2 cerametallic clutch or the ACT HDSS street clutch. Anyone have any experience with the two? any problems?

thx

 

I used actss in my ride till i swapped and enjoyed it very much ...will probably put another one in the new set up eventually

 

i use act hdss.. its pretty good for street use.

how much power are you going to be throwing at these? Both wont last long under some good abuse

 

anybody on exedy?

 

i prefer competition. its not to hard not to soft. And the clutch last loooong.and beat on it.

 

yea i have look into them, they are act a bit cheaper than act and exedy, but i haven't heard too many review about them, anybody know?

 

i know from personal use of the competition clutch their very good, grab nice, clutch pedal dont get to hard, they last very long and their made to be beat on. went to track 12 times this year i always ride my clutch out of the hole, replaced my tranny 1 week ago clutch still looks in good shape.

 

i've personally seen 2 competition clutches blow up. But that was on a turbo app.
I'm using an exedy on my car, and for the price ($370 tax in) it was a great deal. I've beaten on it for the last 2 years now and have like 40,000kms on it, and it still grabs like when it was brand new.
I've also seen 1 ACT clutch blow up (a friend of mines turbo gsr) but again, that was on a heavily built b18c seeing like 18psi, other than that ACT is also a great brand.

 

I had exedy on my b16 and I loved it.....no complaints!

 

I had an ACT clutch on my D16 with my LSD tranny, it was great.

I have an Exedy one on B16 now.

I like them both.

Both were and are stage one

 

is the HDSS stage 1? caz on the ACT site they say they don't really go by stages...

 

Exedy .. The price is great and so far I've had no problems with my install of exedy's. I'm using the Stage 1 Clutch

 

i've had previously owned Exedy and now run the ACT. they are both good. the exedy is very driver friendly and the ACT has a bit stiffer pedal feel. at the end of the day, though...the ACT grabs harder. but my girl prefers the Exedy.
