Which Clutch Kit to purchase?
Hey guys,
I've been searching around the forums and got great advice and prices from people on here (Thx to JamesT) for some clutch kits for my 5-speed '99 Solara.
I daily drive my car, currently completely stock. I have plans for boosting in the next year and the time has come to replace my clutch.
A little background on myself: I have had several boosted cars in the past
(3 Turbo Omni GLH's, 1 Turbo 5-Speed '89 Minivan) All ran low 14's. I am a boosthead no doubt.
I am looking for a good clutch (full-faced) that can be daily driven but that will take the occassional drag-strip abuse, drive well in -20 weather, and sustain the eventual blower that will run somewhere around 5.5 - 7.5 psi. (I wouldn't go any higher I think due to all the internal work that would be involved) Let's say that if my car puts down 260-280 lbs/ft of torque, I'll be quite happy!
My choices have come down to these two:
Clutchmasters FX2000 Stage 2 kit.
ACT Modified Street TY4-HDMM kit.
I have had a lot of praise for the Clutchmasters, but I personally think the ACT kit is nice too.
I would like to know your thoughts my answering this simple poll.
Thanks in advance, and I must say that if you need prices on Clutch parts, contact JamesT. Very honest prices and it's always nice to vouch for a member.
Thanks all!
