F1 Racing Clutch or Exedy Clutch?

[Black9On7Black]

I have a 97 eclipse gst lightly modified and needs a new clutch, so i found these at a very good price. My first option its a F1 racing stage 2 clutch with a Fidanza Flywheel and my second option its a Exedy standard OE replacement clutch kit with a Fidanza flywheel. Which of these two options would be better for my car?

I had the F1 racing one for a probe that I had, I put like 3000 miles of hard driving on it and it was about shot so they don't last long but a good price im sure the exedy is a good one for sure....But from what I've read though more people are buy the ACT 2600 pressure plate and the street disc

Imo act would be the way to go.

ACT 2100 on a lightly modified GS-T if you dont want a buff left leg...it will handle anything a 16g has to throw at it. ACT 2600 if you are going big. Just remember the force your putting on the thrust bearing with that 2600 if you are still 7 bolt.

+1, I put one in my GST, they are crap. Even when it was almost new and broken in, it would not hold a hard shift to 2nd without slipping a bit. Forget about shifting fast into 3rd and 4th. In a few months, I will be upgrading to a ACT 2100

Ok so the ACT 2100 sounds like the way to go, but what do guys think about the Fidanza flywheel?

Oh i forgot to ask you guys , what type of disc sould i use, the 4 puck, 6 puck or street disc with the act 2100, remember i only have a few mods on my car that its dailydriven.
Thank all you for your opinions.

Street disc...especially on a FWD, you want to be able to slip it a little.

I would recommend an ACT2100 with a street disc As far as fidanza vs. ACT, either of them are good choices. Personally, I have always used ACT clutches with ACT flywheels.

so are the exedy clutches any good for a basically stock awd?

 

[brian9397gsx]

the oem clutch is an exedy do not count on it holding much more than stock. my stocker on my 97 couldnt hold a 16g at 10lbs once i replaced the uicp and bov

on a side note upgraded exedys hold nice my friend runs one on his gsx not sure what kind but its a 3 puck hub and metallic

ACT all the way. I had exedy stage2 and it sucked!!! i got my 2900 setup and i love it!
