clutch kit suggestion

[Kracka]

For a good street clutch I really recomend the Southbend DXD, it was a great clutch in my Laser.

^Yea they are rated for over 300 but after you drive and beat on it so much it'll wear out. That's what happend to mine.

You said its 4 years old. Clutches are wear items, I doubt its your power level that wore it out.

I meant, why not just go with another 2600 if it worked well for you. A 2900 at 300hp is a little overkill I'd think.

I'm pretty sure the 2900's were not much more than the 2600's. If that is the case then why not just get the tougher clutch? Yea a 2600 would be fine for 300whp, but wouldn't a 2900 last longer under the same conditions?

The 2900 will put more wear and tear on your crank bearings, drivetrain, clutch hydraulic system, pedal assembly, and leg.

Brian, I don't know how you drive, but I got a good 20,000 miles out of my 2600/street disc on my 430whp car I beat on daily. :)

Southbend DXD! Light pedal pressure, huge clamping force, and awesome driveability.

Didn't your Southbend fail shortly after it was installed?

Check out these offerings from Fidanza, every review I have seen has been excellent and they have a wide range of kits for every power level:

For the most part I baby the heck outa my car. Sure I've launched a few times, but I'm no ricer kid that does it at every stoplight haha. This clutch was in the car when I bought it. Kracka could tell you more about the guy that owned it before me, but my impression was that he half-assed stuff and didn't treat the car very well. I've owned the car for about 3 years now and I know for a fact the clutch is starting to go. Honestly, I don't know how long the clutch has been in or how many miles are on it. I just guessed around 4 years.

I've ruled out puck clutches for a dd after doing a little more reading about them. I may just stick with my 2600 unless I find a better deal.

I'd go with a Southbend DXD instead of the ACT 2600, they make an awesome DSM clutch.

That was in his Evo.

I know that's what I meant ;)
