    A LIL OVERKILL LOL

    So i had this clutch kit layin around for like a year and got a hair up my ass to try it in the ol G. I guess the ACT 2900 pressure plate and 6-puck unsprung disc was a lil too much seeing as it snapped the master rod in half twice...ooppps

    That's more than overkill, that's just straight ridiculous :? I plan to use my spring 6-puck and 2600-lb equivalent pressure place even when I'm making 600 WHP...

    edit: *sprung

    on a fwd there is no point in having that much clamp force in the clutch.

    i mean seriously....... the front tires will break loose looooooooooooooooong before you slip that clutch.

    2600 is really more than enough.

    my fidanza is a hard clamping clutch. the mech when he saw it and felt it compared to stock, he was like "your crazy"

    when we were at the newyork meet everyone was like WTF you put that on a DD
