I just got my OS Giken twin disc in the mail the other day. What are you guys using and how well does your setup work? Thanks-

Please post your feedback on this after it is installed. I'm curious about how it feels. Currently I have the Exedy Hyper Single for my FC, but I haven't yet installed it. Before I purchased this clutch, my choices were between the OS Giken or Exedy.



I was told that the OS Giken twin plate was extremely harsh/hard. Depending on how much power I am making, I may have to upgrade to a twin plate. (Don't want the clutch/flywheel to explode on me).

That's the biggest rumor I've heard about the OS Giken...that it's harsh. It is actually EASIER to drive my twin than a super single. It engages SO smooth, hold power, and changes the clutch from pull to push....



I ALWAYS tell people to get this clutch. It may be pricey, but **** that...it's G-Damn worth it!

That's exactly what I was hoping for. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683329.gif



I'll post some feedback on how well it works for me as soon as I get it in.

OS Giken is well worth the money, twinplates are the way to go.

I love my OS, Im thinking of trying a ORC, but I dont know yet



I like them both, and easy and pretty cheap to overhaul so you can

keep it forever hehe

i really wanted to get the os giken but i couldnt afford it...so i got the act until i can buy it lol!!! i need a clutch like yesterday so i dont have the time to wait for it either....one day though it will be mine!

JT-Imports 08-04-2003 10:08 PM

I can help supply some used ones in ok condition and then you can just buy a overhaul kit for right at $500



I had an ORC is pretty good condiiton the other day in my reach for $700. I almost picked it up but I have some other things going on..

definitely get ahold of jt imports and get a used set. A rebuild kit is "cheap" and the clutch should last a long time. I believe stock, the disks are 4mm, and can be worn down to 1mm before being replaced. I've had mine for over a year now and am at 3.5mm....so I have a while to go.

Which disks are you using in the OS? Going by their catalog in the U.S. there seems to be solid hub, sprung hub and carbon/sprung hub. Jason, what are we looking at for a used OS (on average)? They're going for under $1500 with the ceramic/solid plates here in the U.S.
