Default O.S. Gikken Dual-Disk Clutch

I got an O.S. Gikken Dual Disk from a guy that I did a B16B swap for. I was gonna put it in my B18C1, but I can't find any info on them in English. Anyone have any experience with them on the road or on the track? My car is a daily-driven EG that I use for road racing on occasion (30-110mph).

I read in Grassroots Motorsports mag that dual-disk clutches take their toll on synchros, plus it's harder to match revs.

I don't have any power adders to the B18C1, so maybe this clutch would be way too much for it. Any input would be great. Thanks, Dudes.

a dual disc clutch is generally for heavy duty power applications, what are the friction materials, and diameter of discs. this is an expensive product would be much more worth-while to sell and just use a single disc clutch.

that twin disc kit is worth way more than a std six puck kit. probably like at least 1200 brand new, and if a flywheel is included like 1600

something is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it

True, but it includes the flywheel, because it's all one package (you can't use these clutches with the factory flywheel). I'm starting to think about selling it, but I'm not 100% on that yet - depends on the offers, I suppose.

Oh, yeah, it's used, too. I'm not sure how used because I don't know how much friction material was there to begin with.
