Default any reviews on GRIPFORCE's F1 Clutches...??? Sold on Ebay.

I have heard mixed reviews. Some say they kick *** etc... Other says the pedal pressure feels funny after some time... I need some more infomation about GripForce's products.

I hate mine! I got a stage 2 clutch! It's garbage has about 25k on it and the clutch releases at different points and acts differently as temp of car changes!

I'm getting an exedy or ACT for my next clutch never had any problem with exedy held all the way till the end!

Gripforce is a good ebay company. Just get their exedy OE or stage one, and their fidanza flywheel to match it.

My exedy OE package with a 8.8lb flywheels was only like $200

Good clutch.

For simlilar price you can get Exedy clutch and fidanza flywheel. Unless you really want a stiff clutch.

I don't think F1 is widely used. I head their okay.

I bought the kit (stage 1 clutch and 8 lb. flywheel) for around 250 for my prelude. i've never been more happy with a clutch. It WILL start to slip if it is heated up for a long period of time but I've had no problems with it whatsoever. And the flywheel's lighter weight is very noticeable also. It's not a bad buy.

I need to replace the clutch on my civic, and I might give this a try. worse case scenario im out ~250 i guess. I have a Centerforce clutch in it now, and the ******* thing didn't last very long. I drive hard, but I've had OEM clutches last 3 times as long

I have bought two from them and I have not had any problems. The clutch pedal pressure isn't too hard. I went from a stage 3 exedy to a gripforce stage 4 and the pedal feels lighter, but grabs like a son of a bitch. Also bought a fidanza 8 lbs flywheel. All was cheap like $200-250.

i've had their stage3 f1 6-puck in my integra for almost 2 years now. first motor that was in it was a turbo b18b that i drove the **** out of and now an n/a b18b. when i took the clutch out during the build,the disc looked hardly worn. i've never had a problem with the clutch and it still grabs like hell after all this time...4000 miles later.

I would go with the exedy... I really enjoy mine. I haven't lost any pedal pressure at all since the beginning of the summer!

A buddy of mine swears by Gripforce's clutch/flywheel combos.. I think hes had 1 or 2 of them and liked them both. I think one was on OE replacement and 1 a stage 2. Said grip was great and pedal pressure was near stock. Long lasting also.
So, that being said..
I am most likely picking one up this weekend, stage 3 w/ findanza flywheel. Great price and a local business.
