I'm just about to start a build , it will be a 2.5 specced at around 500bhp and similar ftlbs, i'm looking for a clutch to match, it will be a day to day road car so we need a decent feel for town driving. Any input welcome.

I have a 2.5 @ 502/520 as a road car and use an Excedy Hyper twin. The bite is sharper than a normal OEM clutch but not as savage as some puck style clutches.

Competition Clutch Stage 2. I came from Hyper Twin and the CC is much nicer to drive IMHO.

Exedy twin plate, tried and tested.

Yep, tried and tested by me and rejected for road use.

Hill starts in particular are a nightmare, everyone will think you can't drive as you have to give it loads of revs.

Never had a problem, flat starts, hill starts, or 5.5k rpm race starts
Have you considered maybe you can't drive?

No problems here either. You sure your talking about the same clutch?

Behaves much like the original for me.

Clutch engagement is something that you become accustomed to over time.

I was fed up with the super sharp engagement and instant bite point with very little to zero possibility to slip it. Yes, i could have kept it on the car and become more used to it over time but i decided not to.

Please don't anyone suggest that exedy hyper twin is anything like a standard clutch in terms of engagement, it is not and people buying one based on that advise will get a shock.

I got used to it instantly. Its also an everyday car so ease of use was one of the top priorities.

You are the only person I have heard of having issues with 1.

Never had any problems with my exedy twin for daliy drive slightly different to a standard but took about 5 mins to get used to never need high revs for hill starts the only down side is the rattle but i can live with that

Act single plate, they also do a paddle version rated to 700lbft +

i didn't have "problems" i just didn't like it and with the CC Stage 2 available (and ACT) there is a single plate option for those who prefer ease of use over a rattling on / off switch.

I agree some people may be perfectly happy with the Exedy though.

I've got a act paddle clutch not driven the car yet but its to be used for track and road with 550 region so maybe a bit over the top lol

Competition clutch would have been my next pick
