Alright, the time has come to order a clutch, but I'm still undecided on what route to go. For the most part, I've narrowed it down the the ACT XT-SS, and the RPS Street Max clutch.
I drive the Subie about 10,000 miles a year, and do little to no drag (+/- 3 runs a year). I'm aiming to get out to some autocross and HDPE events this year with the car, but nothing crazy...yet
. I do some good, spirited driving; once a week in the summer time, other than that, I drive very normal around town. The car is putting down 333whp/411wtq on a Dynojet. Any major power upgrades won't come until summer of 2012 at the earliest (GT3076 setup at some point), as I'm focusing on other aspects of the car.
Can someone sell me on a specific clutch? I've had a few buddies with the ACT HD-SS clutch, who were extremely happy, and put anywhere from 40,000-60,000 miles on the clutch, which is very impressive. I've had a few shops recommend the RPS Street Max, due to its stock like engagement and not getting too hot during track events.
What I'd like out of a clutch:
1. Quality
2. Reliable/long lasting - I consider this 30,000 miles before it may slip
3. Not very harsh engagement - I don't mind a stiff clutch at all, but it more or less comes down to not having drivetrain shock.
That being said, I believe the right choice for me is a street disc, hence the two choices I believe I've narrowed things down to. I don't see anyone having a pucked clutch last very long, and a multi plate clutch isn't necessary with this type of setup and usage.
Sell me on a clutch!
