I recently went from ACT 2600 to Fidanza 4.3. ACT make great clutches. I don't about the 2900 but the 2600 came with shitty parts, i.e. throw-out-bearing that cannot handle what the 2600 is made for. So after my 2600 crap out on me I went in search of another ACT or any manufactures.

This may better your perception on Fidanza;

.


Another thing, there is a huge difference with the clutch pedal pressure. The Fidanza is much lighter, the 4.3 is similar to the 2200.

I run an ACT 2600 PP, act 4 puck sprung ceramic disc, OEM TOB and fidanza flywheel. The problem most people have with ACT's are the TOB's and the street disc made of organic material. Just get something made of ceramic it will last a lot longer.

Don't know much about the Fidanza clutchs, but 2600's have been around forever and hold power.

unfortunatly thats the one i have in there right now with a collapsed pressure plate. and instead of just buying a 2900, i wanted to explore my options and see what else there is.
