The Fidanza clutch thread.

[99gst_racer]

OK, I did a little search and didn't come up with much of anything.

I'll be replacing my clutch this winter and I was originally just going to replace it with another ACT. But then I stumbled across the Fidanza clutches.

I'm not sure who is manufacturing them, but they look well built. They have four different kits available for us DSMers:

2.1 - Carbon Kevlar disc
3.2 - Kevlar disc
4.3 - Ceramic disc
5.4 - Sintered iron disc

From what I gathered, each kit uses the same 2300 pressure plate and each one uses a more aggressive friction material to gain more holding capacity. This is a much more efficient method than simply increasing the clamping force of the pressure plate.

These are very affordable, and I have them in stock here, so I'm really considering running the 4.3. If anyone has any input on the Fidanza clutches, or if you've been running one and have an opinion on it, please post in here.

Thanks in advance.

^^ With only 15-20 launches...i guess i can cross this off the list of clutches to consider.

Actually it was probably more like 30 launches when I think about it , but no, defently not seen alot of abuse. I think their issue is quality control, there are lots of guys who put this clutch through alot more abuse & the friction material has held up fine.

Just took my older style 4.3 out.

Busted spring and all springs are loose except 1. The retainer for the springs are cracking so this was about to do more damage.

Unfortunately I do not know how many miles are on this clutch with all the down time I've had with the car.
