I was checking these out on ebay and they seem like a great deal with the fidanza light weight flywheel and it looks like a better material than the oem exedy's that are prone to breaking. And its a carbon kevlar disc that won't burn up as fast as an organic disc. Thoughts? I need a new clutch soon and don't have a ton of money to drop on it.

If you wanna go and try it, go head. It's your car. But I'll let you know I was one of the guinea pigs for the XTD clutch, and after a year, it's not holding up so well

 

this looks like oem replacment clutch but it says stage 2

 

ebay.

 

DO NOT buy that clutch kit...

somewhere on ebay they have the exedy kit and exedy flywheel....go for that...def dont wanna have a cheap ebay knock off clutch

 

I installed that kit on my friends h22 hatch, hooks up great good pedal, got 10000 miles on it no probs

 

I've had my f1 racing clutch for about 6 months with no probs. I've got the stage 1. probably put about 5k-10k on it so far with no problems. gonna swap out to a ACT 6 puck again(lasted me a good 4 years of weekend track and daily driving, the splines on the disc gave out, wore out smooth. ) or exedy twin disc sooner or later...

 

i've used my ebay clutch with no problems

clutchnet stage 2


make sure you machine the flywheel to what ever step is required for that specific clutch.

 

i got the 8lb fidanza with stage 2 6 puck clutch from f1

I got a F1 flywheel, it is doing fine (I connot comment on the clutch). Also the machineing on it was quite good when it was new.

this isn't an xtd clutch, its an F1 brand.

Hows the clutch holding up for those who have one? Would this be better than an exedy stage one?

 

I have this exact package (f1 stage 2 and the fidanza flywheel). I haven't broken it in yet, however, it is a VERY easy combination. IMO the physical weight of the clutch and pressure plate is really heavy, and even with the fidanza flywheel its not as rev happy as I was expecting (primary the weight losed in the flywheel is gained in the clutch)

The pedal is really soft and I kinda wish it was a little firmer. If I get 30-40k miles out of it, i'll be happy.
