Current Setup: Built All motor b18c1 w/itr tranny w/lsd & 4.929 ATS Final drive and GSR Fifth gear.
I'm probally pushing at the most 210 whp.. With a good tune.
My first setup i used a Clutchnet double diaphram pressure plate with 6 puck sprung hub disc and the pressure plates broke in two different spots.. Under no hard abuse (IE: not grabbing gears,etc).. So we pull the tranny off and I had an exedy organic pressure plate laying around.. I keep the clutchnet disc and use the stage 1 exedy pressure plate.
*Two weeks later, still under no hard abuse the pressure plate has broke AGAIN.. The car made the same noise as the first time. (When pushing the clutch in, nothing but clunking..loose metal) Then when take your foot off of the clutch the sound goes away.
Do ceramic clutches have a tendency to break pressure plate?
Anyone recommend a decent priced clutch for my setup?

i have seen briken pressure plates. one reason they happen is a result of the throwout bearing being incorrectley installed. make sure you check the positioning of the spring. also make sure that the pressure plate bolts are properly torqed down
