std Exedy is fairly capable or if you wish a little extra insurance then the #pink box' is a good bet..........

pretty much always on the shelf and at "best" pricing........

Hi Alyn @stockcar What are your thoughts on the RTS performance clutch kits? This was recommended to a mate of mine by a Subaru 'specialist' and he seems very happy with it.

some years ago we used to stock / supply a lot of them and the initial original kits were well priced and decent quality - its not something we would generally offer these days albeit we may have some limited options still

make your own views on why that may be..........

I had the ACT extreme in my last one. Really heavy and very short bite. Wouldn't go that route again.

things like twin plates and ACT Extreme's make no sense on road cars unless heavily modified............

6spd set-up is very capable even in factory form so generally the initial 'pink box' type upgrades suit most users

I put a competition clutch and matching lightened flywheel and the result is amazing for throttle response. One of the best upgrades i've done on the car.

slight downside is you cannot pull a high gear in town but that doesn't bother me anyway. ie below 1500 revs and high gear = some drivetrain judder. above 1800 rpm then all is fine.
