ACT is the way to go, they make great clutches and I love the one I just recently put on my 7. I wouldn't recommend getting anything like a dual disk clutch unless you will be putting out that much power, or racing more than street driving. You should get a clutch that is not equal but can handle just a little bit more power/torque than your car is putting out. Anything like a race clutch will actually wear out your flywheel and pressure plate faster than the clutch, and you will also put more stress on your transmission, engine, and mounts since engagement will be considerably more rough than original...

There is nothing wrong with Centerforce, but people who don't know what they are doing have a good chance of incorrectly installing the Dual Friction clutch. However, I agree that ACT is a good choice.

If your going with one of the ACT clutches I would go with one of the Heavy duty pressure plates along with either there street disk or SPRUNG six puck disk.

If your on the original slave and master cylinders I would just go ahead and replace them to. Both of mine failed after a couple of months after installing the HD clutch set.

The dick? You mean the alignment tool that you insert into the flywheel?

If you buy it as a kit then yes it should come with the alignment tool, pilot bearing, throw out/release bearing, pressure plate and clutch disk.


The reason why I say the heavy duty is because some people have problems with breaking clutch forks and pivot ***** using the Extreme sets. But then again some people don't. Its really up to you. I don't think I have ever heard of any problems with the HD sets.


I actually picked up a brand new master and slave cylinders from Nopi's online store. The prices where good and are made by Tokico.

another vote for the ACT, had the 6 puck unsprung with the HD pressure plate in my TII verty. Loved it, engagement was pretty manly, but hey atleast you get a sexy calve after repeated use lol.

www.autopartswarehouse.com they have sales every once in a while on ACT stuff. Bought mine for 290shipped or something where everyone else wanted 350 plus shipping
