ACT will make your car making a funny sound when releasing 1st gear. At least mine and a few others did. Still a good clutch though

I like my exedy organic, but some people have complained about these in the past. I'm at about 7k miles on mine, and after 5 track days its still holding up great, and I dont have the "exedy squeek" everyone spoke of a while ago. For under $170, you can't beat it.

ACT HDSS here, i love it, feels like stock when driving normally..... but it hits so hard the dash feels like it's gonna fly into your face when you slam gears.... to me the HDSS is a good comprimise for daily driving and race

clutch specialties.. less money than act stuff, works well for me, except release bearing, - make sure to use oem.. other than that, all good.

You've got to watch out with those "puck" discs, because they have on/off engagement, which limits how much you can "feather" it once engaged.

Yeah and on their website it clearly says "Action" not ACT.

There's a difference...one is yellow and the other is red

MY BAD...
The parade laps are not full tilt like a HPDE or "race" but still was able to push somewhat.

I drive really hard for 50 miles a day, every day, 6 days aweek- and now have approx 5-6k miles and there is nothing I can say bad about it.
I did go to Hampton's one night a few weeks back and made two passes on the strip and it felt fine, I just had to take it easy due to the week tranny I have.
I don't want to give any misleading or wrong info.
Did clear that up enough?

Edit: And I did the Expo too, just one session but its track time.
