I feel time is running thin on my clutch, and I'm looking at some options. I've seen that many of you have ACT clutches, and I'm not sure if thats what I need or not. I need to know:
1. The lifespan under normal driving conditions
2. Price of the unit
3. Installation difficulty
4. Price of installation if you had it professionally done
5. Engagement feel
6. Any noticible differences that you can hear/feel

Thanks!

 

1. Should be the same as a stock clutch...this is of course if you drive normally and don't abuse it.
2. about $320
3. You definitely need to know your sh*t, either way just make sure your flywheel gets resurfaced.
4. I had mine done for $300, but most places will probably charge closer to $500.
5. Engages lower, takes more pressure to push down on the clutch, grabs much much harder than the stock clutch.
6. Plenty...it really depends what you're going for, if you want a setup that drives really smoothly (although the ACT becomes smoother as you put more miles on it), go for an exedy, but personally, I love how the ACT feels on my I30, it makes it feel so much more sporty and fun to drive, I'd say go for it.

1. Should be the same or better under regular driving conditions.
2. Bought just the clutch disk for 89 dollars.
3. Took me 13hrs but if i did break so many adapters for my torque wrench, could have been done in 11hrs.
4. Wouldn't know, hope i never do.
5. Nice, can be dropped at low rpms but might stall more than stock. The stock clutch and flywheel were designed to not stall instead of being sporty. Also the clutch is either in or out. Very little in between.
6. Yeah holds more power, chirps the wheels a little more and i usually dont want to hear my clutch.
