Exedy or Fidanza, that is the question

[just2asian]

Hey everyone, its getting closer to the time where I need to get a clutch. Now before I get flamed about this I want some outside opinion on it also. I know ACT clutches are proven to work on us DSMs, but I wanna step outside the box a little bit. I've heard good things about Exedy and Fidanza clutches also and wondering if anyone has had any experience with them. I don't plan on pushing anymore than 350 to the wheels ever, so I have been looking into getting either a Exedy Stage 1 or a Fidanza 2.1. Now the Fidanza is fairly cheaper than the exedy, and I'm wondering if it's a decent clutch or if people hate it. Ok, now I'll probably just get my ass handed to me and end up giving in and getting a ACT 2100.

Buschur has act 2600 and flywheel for like 600 some. I'm looking though, there are plenty of dsm's running fidanza. I haven't talked to any running exedy, but i have to this day never heard a bad thing about fidanza even after starting a thread bout best street clutch on buschur.

I'm running s SPEC "stage 3" with a 6-puck sprung disk and it kicks major *55. I launch HARD on it pretty often, and it's still holding up great. Had it for a year.

Just another option outside of the norm. Horsepowerfreaks has them at decent prices.

I'm thinking of running the fidanza 3. I just can't decide

Like pnshr said SPEC STAGE 3!!!!! one bada$$ clutch . $310 shipped from titan motorsports, maybe even better elsewhere. Ive had both ACT 2600 and the spec and will choose spec over ACT for the fact it drives better even with 6 puck, but performs just the same if not better.
