Opinions on clutch to pair with act pressure plate.

Like the title states I already have a act pressure plate. Needing a clutch disc. Because I'm cheap I debated on an oem exedy disc. I could easily go with the 5th gen disc but is there a difference? Act disc is $160 so looking for a cheaper option.

Mods are basic bolt on, I/H/E 00vi crank pulley etc and I'm installing nitrous before spring. Looking to work up to 100 wet shot. Any recommendations are welcome. Thanks guys!

Would like to note not looking for a extreme clutch that will break stuff. No 6 or 4 puck discs.

I have an Exedy disk and pressure plate, and I'm please with the performance. It handles everything I can throw at it, and I'm sure it could handle more. I would go with Exedy, as it is proven, and still on the less expensive end of the good products.

That's what I was thinking. Which exedy clutch do you have exactly?

I will be close to 300whp, more when I'm forced to 3.5 swap. I'm prepared to buy an act disc if necessary. Just exploring my options.

Thanks Leonard! I sent him a pm. Would you recommend Southbend? I have never heard anything bad about them. I'm searching the org for reviews now.

I do recommend them. I have their stage 2 endurance clutch on my 3.5. They are modified Exedy clutches. And pedal feel is soft and easy for what it is.

Perfect! Only thing is their website says stage 1 is good for 300tq not 360tq like he advertised. I think it will work for me though. I'm trying to get a part number from him so I can confirm its stage 1 or whatever.

When I spoke with the folks at Southbend/DXD their ratings are at the wheel. I'd definitely get pics. As long as its one of their full faced clutch discs, you will be fine.

Just got off the phone with south bend. The numbers on the clutch were outdated part numbers which explains why I couldn't find any info on their website. However he referenced them back and its rated for 315lbs of torque. I believe this should suffice. South bend has great customer service.
