damn baller' carbon bling oh ling. my friend has the carbon to carbon on his evo. the pedal pressure is like stock. also, for a twin disc clutch it doesn't rattle too much with the clutch depressed. kind of don't like how the carbon surface are segmented to metal... makes the disc heavy.

I have a one off single disc RPS carbon / carbon clutch and I love it. Rebuildable holds my 300+ lb/ft with 0 problems, I highly recommend it.

The Laskey Racing drag cars run the twin disc carbon setup as well. I ride the clutch real hard out the hole and it runs like a champ! Never has fatigue what so ever and also is spring loaded so it doesnt need to be rebuilt as much like a Tilton does
If anyone needs RPS clutches, you can hit me up as I am a dealer for them

RPS products

"I've used RPS clutches for over 5 years in all my setups. They
never cease to amaze me. Top notch quality with cutting edge technology and
excellent customer service. What else can you ask for? The clamping force of the progressive dual diaphragm pressure plate is unbelievable and the difference in pedal pressure is minimal. It'll hold anything you throw at it! I ran the 1200 lb pressure plate in my last setup and can't wait to test the 1700 lb plate!"

ive personally deal with rps as a neighbor and a friend there clutches are by far the most consistant and reliable cluches on the market .i do alot of r&d with them over 9 yr period and i have had nothing but good relationships with them rob,jt,matt,jerry all the crew at rps is top notch!!!
ive personally abused these clutches that alot of other manufactuers dont stand up too, and customer service is great ! my sponsorships work really well with them and continue to support there products 100%

p.s. rob is one of thee pioneers for import performance and got many of todays top import tuners into the industry today

I have had the max single disk clutch in my turbo b series for over 5 years and it has finally given up on me. This clutch took abuse better than any clutch I had ever seen. It took over 300whp, 25" slicks and 8000rpm launches to finally make it slip. Theese clutches are also great for daily driving with minimal pedal pressure. I just ordered a new one form Marty T on here great prices and incredible shipping time. RPS is probably the only clutch I will ever own.

Yeah I would imagine there running a triple disc clutch If its not a slipper. I'm not aware of a triple disc for a honda. I'm not sure but I dout its a double. Lisa Kubo had to run a triple for her 1300hp car.
