I've read some concern regarding ACT and their clutches/PP with respect to crank and bearings. So with that said, what recommendations do you all have for a solid 500-550whp clutch that is street friendly with the occaissional drags here and there (couple times a year).

It's for an AP2.

Thanks in advance.

 

My buddy has a comp stg 4 on his S has low 400whp~ though he likes it very street friendly. I have the same on my hatch holds 350wtq fine daily driven too.

 

Well, I had a 4puck sprung ACT on my 450whp civic and it was great..really liked it..

I was curious what the options are for these cars....

 

I have always liked ACT. While I don't have any direct experience with one in my S2000 (yet), I will be running their Extreme pressure plate w/ most likely a sprung 4 puck disc in my FR powered AP2 this coming spring.

 

Clutches are rated by tq....but im sure u knew that. I think its worth it to go for a twin disc so when you decide to make more power you wont have to buy a new clutch.

I did. I doubt I'll be doing more than 550 on a stock setup. The next step would be sleeves, and the motor comes out for that..so changing the clutch wouldn't be a big deal then..lol.

Looking for something cost effective.

 

I figured I would get better feedback than this..

 

it's a clutch man, spec/act/exedy are all fine with lots of different levels.
you need 500whp, so pick the one that holds 500whp. not really tricky.

are you ever going to see a track, or race? or is this a hard parker ?

Negative, a clutch is not a clutch. Pedal feel, pressure plates, chatter/etc are all factors I am not going to get if I just find one that holds 500whp, thus the reason I asked.

Curious what everyone in the boosted world was using..

 

my buddy adam has a full spoon s2k. everything spoon makes he has its crazy but he has spoon housing and 7 exedy triangles no springs no nothing and he has 410 all motor so i dunno ifi that will help but thats what he has and the whole rear end is spoon titanium axles etc

There is no WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY that the spoon stuff makes that much power NA no offense

 

CC stage 5 feels like stock, holds 300% over stock tq

 

Spoon makes titanium axles?

 

i cant imagine that you could put 500 whp down with these cars anyways...would it loose traction through the first 3 gears?

The J's Racing N/A is a tad over 300WHP.

They put power down very well. With the tires that i have (toyo r888) there is no lose of traction from a dig. ul break before it grabs

Sorry, I think your friend is BS'in you. No way he makes that kinda power NA. Spoon does not make titanium axles either. What is a "spoon housing" and "7 exedy triangles"?
