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!

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.
