Arn't those an ebay clutch? I'd stay away. Just get an exedy stock replacement. They are cheap, and OEM quality.

some people have told me its better than exedy...thats y i was curious...and the flywheel has 9.75 lbs...but thanx for ur input...anybody else...and i found it at a shop called gripforce which sells only clutch kits and flywheels...

I've used Gripforce, twice.

No problems here, but the stage 1 clutches are pretty much stock replacement, so don't expect anything special. I believe they are Daiken clutches. As far as "stage 2" and up, I've heard a couple of horror stories.

ya i heard horror stories with stage 2 and 3 clutches from f1...i purchased the stage 1 and flywheel today and gonna install it tomorrow...i was curious is there a break in period???

 

[K2e2vin]

Same as all clutches I'm guessing; 100mi of "normal" driving.

 

[vpower]

just 100 miles...i thought it was a 1000 miles...anybody else agree???

It depends on the brand/compound. I've heard of about 800-1000mi for racing clutches, 200-300 for some ACT street clutches, etc. This "stage 1" kit is pretty much an OE replacement and doesn't need as much break in as racing clutches. Though, a longer break-in won't hurt.

Im currently running a F1 stage 3 6 puck. so far about 30k miles on it and I abuse the shit out of it, Didnt even break it in.

I wouldnt recommend it unless you get it super cheap like I did.

Just waiting for it to go out and then its time for a clutch masters 4 puck sprung!

well i got the stage 1 clutch kit and flywheel 9.75 pounds for $241.00 at gripforce...kewl???

 

[Magana559]
