Hey guys just like to hear your opinion.

Atm I narrow down to 2 clutches. Either excedy carbon twin plate or ORC (orgura) Tripple plate metal clutch. I can get the orc for only a couple hundred more.

I heard good things about the excedy twin plate on how good the drivability is. but also with the ORC triple plate I know it will never slip with a 13b

Most will say this might be overkill but I only like to do things once

Overkill doesn't mean that it will last any longer or drive any better. Are you willing to give up driveability and clutch life (and additional coin) to maybe gain durability and torque capacity? The real question is if you need to for your application. Race clutches don't necessarily belong in street cars and street clutches don't necessarily belong in race cars.

I would go with the act extreme racing clutch, I should be looking at 600-700hp with my setup, and It should do the job just fine and wont cost you a ton. you could buy like 3 of them instead of the exedy.

I think the question would be what amount of WHP and torque are you looking to make? If you are talking about a 2 rotor, the triple disc would be way overkill for your application as it is intended for 1,000+ HP and about 800 ft. lbs. of torque. I haven't personally driven this clutch but I would think it would chatter quite a bit and would be hard to drive given that it's metal. As I recall, the twin disc Exedy carbon will support up to about 700 WHP and 500+ ft. lbs. of torque and would be reasonably easier to drive. I almost went with this clutch for my 3 rotor but opted for the Carbenetics triple disc clutch with a lighter spring weight. It's almost like driving an OEM clutch compared to the ACT clutch I had in the car.

If you are not expecting to make this much HP, then the Act extreme racing clutch would probably hold the HP and torque (up to 577 lbs.), but is supposed to be quite harsh to drive. Straight from ACT's website: "ACT XTreme Solid-Centered Race Clutch Disc is specially built for quick gear shifting and very harsh clutch engagement condition during drag and road racing. As a result, these ACT XTreme Performance Race Clutch Discs are not recommended for daily street use."

If you are making about twice the HP and torque of a stock FD, then maybe consider the Exedy single disc clutch. It's rated to hold 2X stock.

Here is a pretty good website that has multiple options for the FD:

but it will be very difficult to street drive it with that type of clutch. i think exedy would be a great choice, especially if you want to do it right the first time.

if you have a shop do the work for you thats about 4 hours each time you go(380.00(380*3=1140.00)). you wont be saving any money if you go this route

Thanks for reply guys... Most are pointing me toward the twin carbon D core. feed back is that it is not much hard than stock clutch to use. And its supose to last quite a lot longer than the metal types. I dont want clutches that chatters the drive train too much and the on off types.
