Unless you're exceeding 500 ft. lbs., or beating the royal crap out of it (drag racing, etc), you probably don't need one.

That said, I love my HKS. Great engagement and virtually impossible to kill, though it sounds like a bag of marbles in the gearbox when disengaged.

I enjoy my OS Giken aluminum twin plate. With the slave extension rod the peddle isnt harsh at all. Engagment is great. It's held just fine so far but im only at 11psi at the moment. The only downside to these so far is the sound they make when you have the peddle pressed down. It really does sound like a bunch of marbles in the gearbox.

single disk just won't hold the power at the track for me.

True 5k is a bit much considering I spent 4k on the car. :twisted:

Dont the OS Gikens go for around 2-3k new?? Maybe an ACT would be a bit cheaper..

I have a Tilton twin disc with a tilton chromalloy flywheel (5sfe stroker) Complete kit including tilton master cylinder. I may have to sell this kit because I dont have the room on a RHD car to install the master cylinder. Unless I use a tilton pedal assembly and use a overhung design (lots of custom fab work)

I have the Carbonetic twin-disc type normal with the 1150kg pressure plate and it drives really good.
The car is much more fun than with the OEM clutch.
I wish I had replaced it four years ago when I bought the car!

My Carbonetic twin-disc isn't fully disengaging. I've already adjusted the pedal to the maximum available travel but shifting still isn't smooth and I often stall the engine in reverse. Any ideas besides the extended slave cylinder pushrod? But as speed source seems to not exist any more, I'm not sure where to get one.
