First of all, I did a search and couldn't find what I was looking for. I want to know from people who have experiece with them (preferably both) which clutch is better. By better, I mean which clutch am I going to get the most out of? I am not really to hard on my car...meaning the occational race here and there. Mostly its a daily driver that I'm building up for right now. ~it will turn into a track car a little later~......but that will be a new clutch when that happens.

 

do this:
act disc
excedy pressure plate

 

Okay, you're a lucky man... lol... I just pulled apart two motor and tranny combos.... One was a ACT with hard street driving, the other was an Exedy with Hard street driving, and numerous track events... Both had comparable mileage... The Exedy looked practically brand new. The ACT's clutch disc was coming apart. The rivets were loose, letting the material slide back and forth. It still grabbed fine when the motor came out of the car, but I can imagine what would've happened in another 1-2 thousand miles.... My vote: Exedy, hands down...

i have an exedy kevlar stage 2 in my b16 and its great.
my buddy has an act in his b18 eg hatch for about a year and its already slipping a tiny bit.

exedy is number one for a reason, look around in japan, theyre number 1

derek

 

I have the ACT Stage 2.

Its the double diafram one. I love it soo freakin much. I engages so hard and so sweet. It sure did build up my left leg muscle. I don't know much about the exedy but have heard good things.

Good luck on your choice.

 

my 88 std oem replacement grabs harder than cm stage 2's

 

actually, my friend with a built b18c1 in a del sol had an ACT pressure plate go on him... im really not a fan of ACT as i hear alot of people are having pressure plate problems on them...

 

My new Exedy goes in next wensday

 

Exedy all the way. Unless your engine is producing a huge amount of torque, exedy will take anything you throw at it. Very smooth engaugement and soft pedal. I don't know why people love a stiff pedal.

 

My Exedy just finished up it's break in period & I love it so far...

sweet, hows it feel? any chatter? is the pedal harder than stock? does it grab enough to chirp 3rd/4th?

 

i haven't had a act but i used to have a exedy....and it never grabbed as hard as my cm stage 3.....but i don't know exactly waht the exedy was seeing as it came with my swap....it did last alot of abuse....but it didn't like it when i started shooting on it......

 

oh and my exedy did grab hard enough to chirp 3&4th at first, no chattering...so far no problems with the cm disc just the pp

 

For those of you with Exedy clutches, how does the pedal feel? Like stock, little harder than stock or much harder? Thanks
