Yeah that's ok I will do that, when I come to collect it I shall expect lots of interest on it 
Reason I asked was because I keep getting told that I need a paddle clutch for such power, i think alyn@asperformance said something similar aswell, my car has a 6 paddle clutch at the min and i hate it

if its high power then the ACT's are the most proven
intrigued where all these "pink box" failures are, in particular the 6spd version is very capable used within its design parameters

And then on other hand you read that an OE clutch can handle 400lbft?

Needed a clutch after remap (350/390), so had an exedy put in, think it was just the blue box one tho. Lovely clutch to drive with. Then another map took it to 360/410 & the clutch just couldn't take the extra torque so went with a CC stage 2 . Yes, the pedal is a little bit firmer at first but once used to it it's no problem for long or short drives. Main thing is it can get the power down.

so still no actual facts then, have been dealing with Exedy as an official distributor for approx 15yrs, long before (and seemingly long after) yourself and simply speak as i find - we dont get returns or issues so maybe we aren't doing so much wrong???
only ever sell, supply and install products we are happy to recommend and give people facts to make their own decision on and will continue to do so

Not sure how you can do much wrong unless you're actually manufacturing the clutches (failures have been with zero miles on clutches).
As I said, carry on recommending them until problems surface and then advise customers based on your own first hand experience and then collate your own facts.
Happy to carry on recommending blue box which work well, pink box stock can collect dust on the shelf. Don't have time for products that don't work.

we are very happy to continue our DIRECT association and long established relationship with EXEDY 
if anyone has any doubts then simply call EXEDY and confirm an actual distributor
strange you think that their quality control would differ from their OE factory supply, aftermarket or sports products when its all manufactured, supplied & boxed in the same Japanese plant to very strict criteria
never been our experience so maybe your supply wasn't correct as there have been issues with copies same as various other branded goods...........

The problematic stock was supplied direct by Exedy UK, I doubt they supply copies 
Product faults tend to be down to the actual parts themselves (certainly 3 of the issues we had were all the same part numbers), it doesn't need to be a problem across the whole factory.
Exedy pinks have always been rubbish on Evo's, this is common knowledge. It appears that Impreza's are also now affected whilst Exedy bury their heads in the sand and pretend the problem doesn't exist. A real shame really as they weren't bad products although some of the specialists jumped ship long before we did.

I personally have used a genuine Exedy pink box clutches to over 400bhp and 350lbsft with absolutely no issues whatsoever.
I also haven't seen or even heard of any of the issues you speak of Bob. Certainly not with Genuine Exedy clutches.
Loads of people I know have run Genuine Exedy pink box clutches with no issues whatsoever either.
I don't think people realise just how much fake Exedy pink box clutches are coming over from China and the Far East. There's loads out there being sold over ebay and bedroom businesses.
Now I run an Exedy Hyper Compe R and again it's superb. Apart from it being a rattly twin plate. Haha.
If I wanted a single plate for my application Id be looking at the likes of ACT.
Buy from an genuine Exedy distributor and I can't see anyone having a problem. At least in my personal experience anyway.

I've used Exedy Pinks in the past with success also Frayz, the recent problems have nothing to do with that though. Failures are recent genuine Exedy organic pinks with ZERO miles on (Exedy twins we've had no issues). They've gone back to Exedy for warranty claims who pretend the issue doesn't exist. If I told you their reasoning for the failures you would probably fall out of your chair laughing. Not going to go there though as blues work well and happy to carry on working on that basis. What I will say though is we are not the only ones to have jumped ship for the better.
Exedy pinks (organics) can happily sit on the shelf whilst people buy CC as there is far less hassle that way. If someone still wants an Exedy Organic Pink after being given the facts, then that's fine also, plenty in stock.
I'd like to say Exedy will sort it, but they haven't done after years of producing near useless Exedy Pink Organics for the Evos. Letting ebay businesses (can't even call them bedroom traders as they operate on a massive scale) sell fakes without clamping down is also hurting the brand, but that's another issue altogether. Exedy are well aware of who these companies are (one of them is located suspiciously close to Exedy UK), I know this as I made them aware of it myself several years ago.
We buy/sell enough clutches to see the wider picture of issues.

well after all the deliberating & listening to a gazillion different peoples opinions, thoughts experiences......
i have purchased an exedy pink stage 1 anti judder....
the reasons....
A. i got it through my mate who works in Euro Car Parts - they are Exedy UK authorised dealers....and LOCAL to me
B. the scoob specialist (i trust) fitting it has fitted many before, and says no issue, any issue is the older judder version, or reuse of existing flywheel
C. if it does fail, i take it back to B. who removes it, A. gives me a new one - no questions asked & B. fits it
ill report back when fitted.....
