hands down the best deal. holds like a $400 dollar clutch for 1/3rd the price. Make sure you resurface the flywheel.

Where the "F" are you putting 3 12's in a 240... Thats going to be obnoxious. I like ACT when I got $. My engine sheared the splines out of my SPEC cluth after 5,000 miles non track driving and 1 track day. F1racing makes a inexpensive stage 3 disk, looks an AWFUL lot like my friends Exedy.... I beat the piss out of mine for a whole season of weekly drifting at the track pushing 350whp $65 on where else ebay, don't use there pressure plates though they aren't as good as the disk.

Yeah, not down for systems in 240s.

However that maxima clutch that was posted in the link is an amazing idea.

Otherwise id stick with Exedy.

We don't push spec because we were sponsored by them....we push spec because their clutches never failed on us. I had an s14 sr with a spec 3 in it. I did events for 9 months straight, and beat the living crap out of it on the street....drove to gainsville beat the crap out of it there and drove it back, and daily drove the car for about 100 miles a day(mon-fri).... They never failed us on our drift cars either. We broke OS Giken gear sets before we came close to ruining our spec clutch. I don't have anything against ACT, or EXedy or any other brand for that matter. But I enjoyed my spec clutch.

If you were referring to my post, I never said that you "pushed" it on me. I said that you were giving good deals and it was a better price than a comparable ACT or Competition clutch. We all know that Enjuku has a good reputation and wouldn't lead their customers astray. I only mentioned Enjuku because I was asked what my personal experience was and I was trying to provide dates and facts of my experience.

First time I've heard that Spec clutch outlasted an OS Giken clutch. I have an OS Giken unit and a cousin of mine has a 4 puck sprung Spec Clutch for his MR 2. We both push our cars and I've never had an issue with my clutch. His clutch had a spring pop out on him while on the drag strip. I believe you, it's just I hear more stories about Spec clutches failing. Only thing I hate about the OS Giken clutch is that it chatters when the clutch is released. Everyone thinks something's wrong with my clutch. Also the initial cost of an OS Giken clutch/flywheel unit is a bit pricey.

Spring wear like that normally has something to do with input shaft movement. With those vehicles being pilotless you tend to see more and more of it happening especially over long period of time.
