Has anybody ever used or had any expierences with Exedy clutches for a FD?

I would recomend them. Buy top of the line for your application. And make sure that application.

I was going to buy their twin plate clutch when I make 600+HP https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

I've driven cars with the hyper single and the twin plate...LOVED it..the twin was very easy to drive.

I like my ACT street/strip with SR flywheel. I use my car for auto x and it performs well. Scared the **** out of me the first time I drove her with it. Much grabbier than stock. Unless you're making massive power, an ACT should meet your needs.

I just changed out Calvin Wan's Excedy tripple carbon clutch. Very nice unit, but junk if you are trying to drift! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png Definately good clutches though. Calvin is now running the Blitz Twin Disc with the push conversion. The Blitz unit in my opinion is the dopest FD clutch made.

I have had the cusco excedy twin plate for over a year , its the best set up ive ever used.

I have the Exedy Cromoly Flywheel and ACT Xtreme Disc. The combo is just right for Street driving. Much more and it would be a bitch in traffic for sure. I am a fan of the Exedy stuff for sure though.

Exedy clutches are quality products but you can find an appropriate clutch for much less from ACT. I currently run and ACT pro Lite Flywheel with Street Clutch Plate and Disc.

SR motorsports uses ACT. Go search 685whp on youtube.com and you can view a 685whp FD3S also utilizing ACT Products.

And for the record, Im a dealer for both ACT and EXEDY clutches. I use ACT in my own RX7s and recommend them to my friends. But i still SELL EXEDY because I make more money off selling them and some people just love to spend more money then necessary. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/boink.gif

I actually remember having a 1/2 hr. conversation with Ray Lockhead about how 90% of drivers buy "too much clutch" for their application, meaning most people buy something that is way more "racing" oriented then needed.

ACT recently came out with a six puck SPRUNG assembly, you should look into it! I will be using this next time i need to replace my clutch! FYI: i believe this clutch is good for upto 450 torque and believe me you will not be making more torque then that.! the 685whp fd on the video i mentioned make 470 torque so unless you think you're making more than that then ACT should be ok https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683473.gif
