I'm trying to decide on which clutch to get - now we have a ST185 - but all 2nd & 3rd gen 3SGTE's use the same clutch whether they are SW20's ST185's or ST205's.

So, I'm looking at an Exedy Hyper Single here: http://www.exedyusa.com/corp/TH02SD

the car is slightly modified - currently have a CT27 running 10-12-14psi (depending on weather) + supporting mods.
i will be upgrading to a ST205 tranny & want to change the clutch while i am there to something that isn't as heavy as the stock or whatever one that is in there now.

i am planning on going to a KO SB GT3071R kit in a year or 2 so i want something that will be able to hold the torque possibly close to 300awtq.
i want the clutch to be as comfortable as possible, sprung & good quality --> not like a Spec Stage III which throws its cookies.

i've asked on alltrac.net but i was curious what all the 3SGTE guys & gals are running in their 6gc's here & how you like whatcha got smile.gif

thanks! smile.gif

I've owned numerous ACT clutches and I can say they have never done me wrong - no matter what car or the abuse. I usually just end up changing them out due to time and not because they are inoperable. I'll probably stick with ACT for life because of that. Check out my build thread for evidence - that old ACT evidently stood up to some serious pounding for a very long time. First pic on the page [about halfway down]:

Its a safety feature so that people like you don't end up killing themselves or everyone around them.
