Hi,
Got an '09 with 47K on it. Pedal is getting high and selection is sloppy.
I can't find a review on this clutch. Anyone got one or had experience with these clutches?
Do i need such an upgrade for an occasional track car or should I just go standard again?
Also looking at the Exedy stage 1.
Thanks

RPC fails a lot IIRC. Go standard IMO or exedy stage 1 organic if you really think you'll be launching a lot, I assume you're more than 230bhp? I use an ACT stage 2 organic on my supercharged FN2 and so I would guess the stage 1 version is also very good.

I did wonder why I couldn't find a review and Tegiwa have a new range. From what I could find to read I've decided to go standard again as the car is and the Exedy on top of the cost of getting it done was just too much. Anything else worth doing whilst it's in bits?
Thanks for your reply.

What power is it running ? You definitely don't need stage 2. My stage has 250ftlb torque rating. I'd go with OEM or stage 1 organic ;)

Standard engine wise apart from a panel filter. I've spent the money on brakes and set up so far. I just take all the seats out and chuck a fibreglass bucket in. That's almost 100kg' s in weight.
Next purchase will be wheels and tyres and then maybe a diff

Long time ago I had and Ep3 for 220k kilometers in[…]
