Sheez, 6-puck cannot be compared with the CFDF.
You're comparing a "race" puck clutch with a streetable, organic disk.

This is what I posted on a similar thread...

I had a dual friction on my previous T II, it was pushing 320hp at the time I put it in, even when new it started slipping bad after two passes at the strip, so did a friend's of mine on a lightly modded FD...piece of crap. It finnaly came apart after less than six months, never again for me. Works for some people but I have seen it fail in more than a few RX's.

I beat up my ACT all day, never slipped, it's awesome.


I have to clarify tough, I used Centerforce a lot back when it was the best in the market, I used it in my former RX-3, 280 ZX Turbo and 300 ZX Turbo, they were all in mid to low 13's in the 1/4 mi with no problems, just the dual friction gave me problems on the T II.

Not to derail the thread, what would you guys pick and why?

ACT xtreme S/S or Exedy Hyper Single?

What are your thoughts on the quality of each clutch?
