I was basing my experience on one ACT extreme clutch I've seen here in Japan, so it's probably not throughly accurate.
Either way, the twin plate OS Giken pays for itself by being a push type clutch, streetability(about a thousand times easier to drive than the act extreme), torque rating, etc....

haha you guys are funny. man my clutch is starting to become toast!!! i really need to get a new one before i kill it. i would turn down the boost but chuck went to tas2003 and wont be back till the 15th. doh my boost controller is just sitting at his house. jspecracer7, dont worry i will baby the car...i do it all the time now. well mostly because i am trying not to get arrestted for having such a insanely loud exhaust. my stock clutch was ok before i did the single upgrade, but know i think it must have been on the way out. it sucks 
i only need to find a pllace that can order me the clutch combo now. anybody know some websites?

You need to invest in better tires.. or stop doing burn outs and balding your tires on the car now...
I like my Ogura (ORC) triple plate clutch.. It's only killed 4 transmissions and garenteed to hold 1000 hp..
BTW.. Jason can you get me a price on a overhaul kit for my ORC triple.. thanks..

O, I forgot to add in that I ran a OS twin for about 2 1/2 years.. Damn good clutch and I never broke anything with it and it is easy to drive once you get used to it... I did have a slight problem with clutch master cylinders going bad due to the extra pressure needed to push in the heavier springed pressure plate... I found out by heat wrapping the clutch mastercylinder and making a small heat shield under it that it would last a lot longer with no problems as it was the added pressure + heat comming off from the turbo's that was killing it... You shouldn't have to worry since your clutch master cylinder doesn't sit right on top of your front pipe and ex housing like our rhd cars do..
