Best Clutch/Flywheel Brands (FI)
**Admins, please delete if this info is in another thread. I searched and can't find it.**
I wanted to get some opinions on the best clutch/flywheel kit brands for our cars..........with a supercharger. I have a 2013 with a Kraftwerks C38 (bigger blower) kit that I'm about to install and I need to obviously change the clutch/flywheel from OEM, along with clutch fork & pivot, too. The car also has an oil cooler, catless EL headers/performance exhaust all the way back, and Grams injectors; too. I'm assuming with the C38 blower that the car should be putting down high 200's in the torque department or maybe low 300's on E85, so I want a solid kit. I've considered the ACT Xtreme Street/Strip, Exedy Stage 3, Competition Clutch Stage 4, or the McLeod Street Tuner clutch. I just know there's a ton of other companies out there like OS Giken and HKS, but I don't know anything about them. Opinions? |
Not ACT. I have the XT street with lightweight flywheel. It s not a bad clutch but not happy with it. It took forever to break in and be smooth. Hear a lot of complaints on longevity also. I would not go above 350 on torque rating unless you are just going to go to the drag strip and abuse the shit out of it. Next clutch I get will be a South Bend.

I am very happy with the South Bend Stage 2 Daily with stock flywheel. No chatter and stock feel.

They covered a range of issues and failures that I have never seen for a clutch before. I don't know what is best but am pretty confident I know what is worst. |
I love my OS Giken clutch! You can message them on Facebook to ask questions. It is super drivable!
|
Thanks everyone for your take! I'd hate to waste money on a shitty clutch. I had forgotten about South Bend.

Yeah, I don't like LW flywheels. I had one in my Mach1 Mustang once and took it out almost immediately for NW, since it was a DD car. That's what my FR-S is too and with a little light Strip from time to time. :party0030: |
Anyone have any takes on the multi-disc clutches for DD, yet supercharged cars?

Oh no doubt some are issue free The list of issues is just too big to ignore though. Easily the majority of aftermarket failures were the ACT. |

Let's say there are 100 bad reviews like you said. I wonder how many act clutches that were sold and were professionally installed and or installed by super experienced enthusiasts all who will torque to spec with a well calibrated torque wrench that is properly maintained not some harbor freight torque and how many owners properly broke in the clutch. Then you have to take into account how many frs\brz\86s ACT clutches were sold throughout the years of our cars. Too many variables man. |
