Default ACT HDSS clutch reliability question

Has anyone ever heard of the ACT HDSS clutch giving out at a early mileage?? I am asking because I bought the XTSS but am going to return that and get the HDSS. The guy who I bought it from on-line said he has seen he HDSS burn up at 8,000 miles and that the XTSS will last me 100,000 if needed. Is the XTSS that much more reliable?? I searched but haven't seen any stories of the HDSS wearing out this early. Any input would be appreciated! Thanks fellez

I have the HDSS and it's still grabbing after ~35k miles of serious abuse.

Rob, how do you like the XTSS?? I ordered that but am thinking I will need to return it for the HDSS because the only real difference bewteen the 2 is how big my left leg will get. I get stuck in traffic every morning so would you recommend this clutch to me??

Basically I want a softer pedal with the grab of the XTSS.

I have the same combo, but w/the HDSS. It would be nicer imo if the clutch was heavier, but I havn't driven a XTSS to campare.

xtss is very heavy..nvious R had it on.. drove his car n it was freakn hard...hdss has a more stock feel to it.. but then again act clutches always makes weird noises.. dunno but that's how they all are for some reason.
