We had a customer ask about this brand, in fact a local seller has one too. After much research, I decided to find a ACT. Either people had really good luck or they were absolutely trash. I cant take that risk for a customer.

Friend of mine just installed a Stage 2 F1 clutch in his S5 6 port turbo. He says it bits well. Only been 2 weeks though so we'll see.
I took a look at it before he installed it and it looked well built.
I guess if you were looking for a performance clutch on a budget this would be the way to go.

well i have access to a very well known and respected friction supply place, and i have to have the flywheel recleaned anyways, so ill probably take the clutch setup down to them to have them check it out once it gets here.

Good! I don't know if the clutch was installed improperly. I did not like it though. It Felt really low quality.

Please give us a review when it gets in because it is pretty inexpensive.

I had an ACT pressure plate with the f1 stage 3 disc on my 87 turbo and ran it for about 10,000 miles never gave me any problems, I sold the car and is still running fine.
