#22
99% of the people who i see have issues are the dumbasses who bought a stage 2 its not any cheaper why the **** would you go with a inferior clutch for the same money as a good clutch stage 3 or bust i dont care if the car still has a bone stock everything anyone who buys weaker **** to justify there sensebility needs to ******* wake up and man up to driving a real car.

^^ Because I didn't know anything when I bought it. I didn't even know about different clutch materials. I looked at it and went "OMGSTAGE2 *jizz*" and bought it.
EDIT: And lol, you're saying the man thing to someone who DDs an unsprung 6-puck ceramic.

I did an F1 stage 1, didn't release right out of the box. Their flywheels seem OK, but I wouldn't buy my enemy an F1 clutch.
I have an ACT HD pp and stock disc in there now. The ACT plate came out of a Spec Miata and had one full year of racing on it, they changed it out as part of PM. I was out of choices and time, so I went ahead and used it. I've got 50+ n/a autocross launches on it so far, and it's fine.
I'll only be doing ACT 1.6 parts for now, if I had a 1.8 flywheel I'd do the FM1 as an option. I will be doing another clutch after this season, it'll be an ACT.

ive been running act hd street/strip, full face, sprung.. for over a decade with numerous cars, great clutches at very reasonable prices
i dont understand why you guys are trying to cut costs on one of the most, if not the most, vital factors in how your car performs. its not like you shift often

The reason I recommend the FM clutches is because you know they will work correctly when you put them in. All the cheap clutches I have see have been hit or miss. Some are put in and work great, other fail right away or very quickly. It is when they do fail that sucks because changing clutches is a pain in the ***. The knowledge that I know I will not be dropping the tranny any time soon is worth paying the premium for the FM clutches.

F1 Stage 3 in my car. Held up fine for 2 full seasons of abuse and thousands of road miles.
I hate it though. I will never use another 6 puck clutch again. Driveline chatter is bad enough to make me want to run 30psi and try to kill it, so I can justify getting a new clutch.
Next one will be the FM stage 2 clutch for sure.
