They use weights on the fingers of the pressure plate to increas clamp load at higher rpms etc that are not sued on the Honda clutches as there is not enough room.So you get a stock pressure plate with a average disc that is good for bolt ons only really as the rated torque capacity is ---- all.I learned this the hard way and after mine ---- the bed i called them and that is what they told me.---- Centerforce LSD clutches FTW

your joking right?? my first aftermarket clutch was a clutchmasters and that shitty thing held less power than the stock one. Couldnt keep up with my stock z6 on 10psi. Lasted a whole tuning session, and half a night at the philly street races. then i stopped being cheap and bought an act. That thing still has most of the disk left and its been in 3 engines already! For sale too if anyone wants it.......

Dude... Duralast all the way... at least for stock vehicles. $130 gets you a good clutch with a lifetime warranty. You can beat the ---- out of one for three years, take it off when doing a motor swap, take it to AutoZone and get a brand new one free of charge. Hell, when I took it off it looked almost brand new, which is cool considering I have to feather it out a lot parking in the garage at school.

It is not a true life time warranty, it is a limited life time warranty. I ran one on a stock sohc with bolt on for almost 4 years of beating the hell out of. BTW lsd clutchs FTW, had a leaking main seal on 8psi and that ****** would only silp a little at about 120 . Also after changing the main seal and cleaning up the clutch that ****** still grabed like new, and no more slip.
