HPF Stage 2 Feramic vs. ClutchMasters FX-850 - which one?
Hey guys, thought I'd ask for your opinion here..i'm leaning towards the HPF Feramic Stage2 at the moment given my car is a daily driver but beaten on a lot...i'd use a new DMF for it so total price is around $2.5k for clutch kit+oem flywheel...so, no chatter, as smooth as it can be...I'm just not sure how this clutch will fare at the drag strip though with some launches and am afraid it may give out in that respect...tons of boosted HPF m3 guys are running it and having nothing but good results with it...thing is I'm not sure many are hitting the dragstrip but that's just me...
the other option, fx-850 twin disk (1 ceramic back plate, 1 fiber tuff plate facing the flywheel), looks like a heavy duty street+race clutch that'll definitely be harder on the leg and it requires a lightweight flywheel which may/may not impact drag racing...price wise it'll come out to about the same for me in the end as the HPF+OEM flywheel...
so far I had a stock clutch lasted 75,000km, then a clutchmasters fx400 6 puck ceramic that died after only 4500km but CM warrantied the kit and sent me a new one (so great customer service there, no fuss, i did lose labour money though obviously), and currently the car has the ACT street with the OEM DMF which was resurfaced and its lasted 40-45,000km now and its just started to slip a bit in 5th and 6th...i can still drive on it but its on its way out...
what would you go with? I almost put the order through with Branden@HPF yesterday but his line dropped and I'm waiting for him to get back to me...
