I'm going to upgrade my clutch and flywheel soon.
I know I'm going with fidanza as my flywheel but with all the clutch options and differences in price I figured I'd find out what people liked the most.

ACT Stage 1 - I already know it's a great clutch. Driven it many times on a friends 4th gen.
But what about: SPEC, Clutchnet, Centerforce, Exedy, Clutchmasters???

I'm leaning towards either a ACT or Spec stage 1 clutch but I'm not certain yet.

Help me out people. Thanks

i have an exedy stage 1. i never with a stock clutch so i can't compare it. It doesn't have a heavy pedal feel and its holding up pretty well. You might want to tell people what mods you have or plan to do. The clutchnet is used mostly by boosted folks. Everything else should hold for n/a though.

 

Well all i have is intake and exhaust. i won't be going FI on this car so i don't need anything too serious. With this clutch upgrade I'll also be getting a Fidanza flywheel
I like a good bite and strong pedal from my clutch. I know the ACT stage 1 offers that but I'm intrigued by the great reputation SPEC has earned. Unfortunately I haven't located much clutch talk on the net comparing SPEC to ACT.

So anyone here driven a SPEC stage 2 and an ACT stage 1? Which is stronger? Which is more streetable? Are the SPEC stage 1 and ACT stage 1 comparable in terms of bite and pedal feel?

Thanks for any helpful insight you guys can offer me.

 

Anyone here have a Spec Stage 2 that has driven an ACT stage 1?

 

anyone here with clutch feedback???

 

i also have the same question

 

From my experience the exedy clutches have a pretty heavy pedal feel. Never drove a stage 1 but i know the stage 2 and 3 are quite heavy. Clutchmaster is a little bit lighter pedal pressure but a little bit harder to feel the friction point. It is not hard to get used to though. Both of them last a long time and grip up very well even under drag racing stress. These are the only 2 brands i have a lot experience with so thats my .02

 

went from a stock to an exedy, but i got one with a bad pp. so i replaced it with an act. glad i did, friggin love it. it requires alil more leg strength, but not much, feels like it should have stock imo.
