I can't imagine this being cost effective. . . How much power do you make? Stock clutch not holding?

I have used Stock, Exedy and ACT. All I can say is DO NOT BUY EXEDY and ACT is still doing well after 10,000 miles.

The Mugen clutch was designed for racing use only, a friend recently pulled the clutch out at ~12,000 miles and it was done, although it did have ~4 track days on it. If you want a racing clutch be prepared to pull the transmission and replace the clutch at regualar intervals.

Yeah...the amount of friction material left was equal to ~3 pieces of paper tightly packed, he was VERY lucky that it was pulled before it killed anything.
