Twin plate clutch
Is there anyone that has had experience with the Cusco twin plate and the Exedy hyper twin plate ?
The difference between the two in price is £25 so nothing in it realy.....what one would be the better option ?
Cheers

I have the cusco twin plate fitted (supplied by API).
For competition use and torque handling capabilities they are awesome imo.
For road use they are terrible imo. I don't see these being any worse for road use than any other twin plate, but whilst the pedal feel is fine the snatchiness is a royal pain in the backside. Unfortunately if you have high torque and wish to do standing starts etc, you don't have any other choice.
For the job in hand they are great, but have the downside for road driving.

If you've got the cash an OS Gikken twin plate racing clutch is fantastic.
It judders a bit taking off from junctions/queues in first but once you get going changes between gears are smooth as you like, even at low speeds, so it is quite usable in traffic. Once you're moving at speed there is no concept of "depressing" the clutch. It's either up or down which makes for very quick gear changes.
Local specialist indicated it takes a bit of jiggery pokery to fit, it's a push release type or something.
