EXTREME:
This is a build to order clutch kit intended for cars with HP modifications exceeding the stage 3 parameters. The Race Engineered pressure plate is modified for maximum plate load. The discs are puck design with sprung and un-sprung options. Friction material options include Sintered Iron and Graphite Impregnated Ceramic. Engagement characteristics can be abrupt. Hydraulic systems may need enhancing for proper clutch separation. Single mass steel SFI approved flywheels are required for safety. Torque ratings are calculated at time of ordering.
Race Engineered Pressure Plates (SS) used in Stage 3 and 4 clutch kits:
These performance clutches deliver more transmittable torque and stability, longer life and superior thermal resistance. They also deliver noticeably better dynamics through higher clamp load when driving the vehicle to its limits.
Flywheel Features:
Flywheels manufactured by SBC are made from low carbon, hot rolled steel that is highly resistant to warping and perfectly suited for the friction materials mated to them. Single mount CNC machining guarantees precise tolerances and perfect balance exceeding O.E. specifications. Extensive field testing has been done to determine the proper weight for each specific vehicle and to ensure smooth operation, safety and durability under extreme operating conditions.
The clutch disk itself was just an Exedy, but they didn't say that. The pressure plate is pretty soft, I'd say it's on par with a stock clutch. Installation was a breeze, much like any other clutch. Runs as expected, though with the sooooft pedal.

after proper break-in, and about 5k miles later, the clutch hold very strong. there is a good amount of clutch chatter, and strong vibrations when starting off at a normal pace, say from a stop light, but it is still streetable. i'm not sure if i'd get this clutch again for this reason. other than that, it is a good clutch.

I had a shop install it for me. There is a considerable amount of clutch chatter. after more than 4k miles, it has not gone away. it is still drivable on the street, just slightly annoying. it does grip and hold well though. i've done a few awd launches and it has not slipped.

I had it installed by a shop along with flywheel. I run this car in Solo1 and Solo2 SCCA events in Solo1 on the track for 30 mins it seems to get hot and slip a bit, maybe that will get better with time or I need a stronger clutch, anyway we will see. For Solo2 and the street it's fine. I rated it a 6 cause I need to know how long it will last before I can give it a higher rating.
