Look into RRE's X-Clutch

^your clutch should have lasted a lot longer. And with all do respect, are you actually reading this thread? People aren't going to make up your mind for you. There have been plenty of great posts about each clutch. From this thread I have decided to go with a southbend dxd because imo it seems very comparable to the 2600 but a little smoother. It's also cheaper which is a win for me.

I was picking and choosing posts to read. I am not familiar with what is involved with clutches so I have no clue if I am able to use the pressure plate I have still or if that is even what provides the heavy resistance I have to push in the pedal. I'm just looking for a quick answer for a heavy grabbing clutch that will support what I have and want.

Try reading the entire thread, you will find most the info you're looking for. After reading everything, come back and ask more questions if you have any.

Ok. So I read them and I still don't know what to do. If I can keep the same pedal pressure as I have now thats good, what component is it? I do like my 2600 but I have heard from my cousin in the past that he was thinking of a southbend but went with what I have now. If the both are comparable and seem to be the same but different.. idk.

Dont get one with a feramic disk. Unless you like welding your drivetrain together. :)

Thats why i will re-reccomend the sprung kevlar. It is a street disk so it's very driveable, but has amazing grab and can hold lots of power. With the 2600 its been proven to 30K with 500+ hp & tq by twick69 on tuners, and has withheld around 8k and 350 awhp for my car so far. With the pressure plate, if there are no heat spots/cracking/warping it should be fine, but I will reccomend replacing the pivot ball and clutch fork... the 2600 does alot of damage to those items.

Just so you know, pedal pressure doesn't really have alot to do with how well a clutch will hold power. Alot of it is what the friction disc is made of.

On your ACT, it is the pressure plate that gives you the heavy pedal. Again like I said directly after your post, I recommend giving RRE a call and asking about their X-Clutch.
