Anyone tested Cusco Single Copper Clutch Disc?

Can't find any torque ratings, only that it "holds up to 400hp"....

I sent them a message asking for the torque rating with and without the OEM pressure plate. I'll post what ever they send.

I like the idea of keeping the factory pressure plate in a mild FI setup. Just one less piece to go wrong and I trust the OEM unit to be better balanced than most aftermarket units.

I hope for a quick response then! :)

Thank you for contacting RHDJapan and sorry for the delay! I checked this out and unfortunately could not find a rating in the master catalog. I do not believe this is rated for max torque.

So, how are customers supposed to buy this clutch without knowing if it'll fit their specific use?

Please don't take this personally, I'm not doubting your research or that your statement is factual, it's just that not offering a rating for an aftermarket clutch is about the most asinine thing I've heard all day.

Not sure what the vendor is supposed to do with that response... LOL
It's probably better directed at cusco themselves, complaining to vendor won't do anything.
