Default Exedy or ACT?

What would you go with ACT or Exedy? Do you know of any other clutchs you would suggest for daily driving, night racing, and strip? I was debating on which to go with i was leaning towards Exedy but just seeing if anyone has tried these and what their opinions are. Thanks.

Whatever you do, use the organic disc, unless you want to replace the flywheel nextime you need a clutch...

exedy thumbs up!

i have the cerametallic and i love it

the act pressure plate diaphragm is thick as hell so the pedal feel will be extremely hard

the exedy however uses a dual diaphragm design so the engagement isnt as hard

the cerametallic disc is also very lightweight ..id say about a lbs lighter than the act

IMO the exedy is engineered better than the ACT..however which ever route you go they will both serve their purpose
equally
