Hey guys Im using an act stage 3 right now but it has been shot since i recieved it. The engine was left outside iwhen pulled form the car (not by me) and it got rusted to ****. Anyway its finally truely dying on me and I wanna order another similar kit but im unsure of what to get.

SO what are you all using? I know I like the crispy feel of the stage 3 but I am completely clueless when it coms to other **** like sprung and unsprung, 4 puck, 6 puck. I know the term i know whats considered better but i technically know nothing.

Also I am planning on swapping to a TII driveline in a few months, will I be able to keep this clutch set-up?

I just want to correct myself. I was told by the previous owner that I ahd an ACT stage 3, but now that im browsing for new one im seeing that he was most likely lying. The clutch in my car looks exactly like a XTD.

The XTD pressure plate has a higher leverage spring, so it has more clamping force without more pedal pressure.
I am using one with a 6 puck copper ceramic spring disc.
Combined with an ACT street light flywheel & a short shifter, it makes a sweet package.
No more missed 3rd gear shifts!

I'm looking for the same answer. Once I had my engine rebuild I've installed so called OEM clutch in it. It feels really smooth, but then once i broke in my engine the clutch kept occasionally slipping when I dumped it into second (frustratin). Then I tryied doing burnout and roasted it (even more frustrating). Now it feels real spongy. Are OEM clutches really that crappy? I have an almost stock TII so I'm not putting out any crazy hp amounts. I can't believe clutch's got about 5 k on it and it's toast.

I might get the xtd again, it was good to me before even though rusted ect plus theyre under $200 shipped on ebay. I know what u emna about the pedal. Compared to the bmw i drove a few times there was like 1/3 the pedal travel to shift.
I never drove a stock fc though.

Did you have the flywheel face resurfaced for the replacement clutch?
Did the new clutch include a rebuilt pressure plate?
Once the flywheel or PP gets burned, the clutch will loose max torque handling real fast.

i have heard very good things about the stage 1 organic clutch kit from exedy, its got decent clamping force while keeping the stock feel. thats what im going with for my next clutch.
