I guess I'm one of the lucky ones with the Exedy twin ! I installed myself and I've had no problems with it ! The pedal pressure is more than stock !

I have the RPS clutch and have run it at the 1/4 mile, Pocono Raceway and Watkins Glen. I never had an issue with the clutch. Of course if I do I hope not to get bad Customer Service from them.
|
I don't like stories of poor customer service! I'm back at the beginning - LPE says Exceedy, and my only other real choice is the Aussie clutch. I like that they have great customer service, but since LPE is doing the work, you simply can't beat their service level - and they are dealing with the clutch company. I'll go with what they say, and we'll see where the chips fall! :thumbs:

I know of three other local vette owners who I called and got their opinions on clutches. Then I talked to the owner of a very well known supercharging shop as well. On their say so I went with the rps single disk. After about 25miles ( the clutch felt great) the car got rear-ended. But it did feel fine and I really trust the opinions that I got from other vette owners(road racers/track racers/ roadcourse people). :thumbs:

I have had zero problems with my Excedy duel so far.

FWIW, I think my next clutch will be the Mcleod twin disk.

DDSLT5 I've had two Apexi boost controllers...both =:U
EBoost2 is working well. The Apexi display gets so hot IMHO it burns something up in the electronics. Good luck on the upgrade! |
Apparently HKS is now producing their boost controller again, and LPE loved their unit previously - so that is going onto my car. I'll let you know how it goes! :thumbs:

thanks Jason No problemo - I've also arranged for a ride in a 427 TT so as to assess the 'technical' differences. I'll report on that as well! :thumbs: |

When it starts to get worn, you can just send it to Mcloed for a rebuild... :cheers: JB |

My car has been a guinea pig for STC's ceramic/bronze setup and after 3000 miles in my H/C car I have been nothing short than thrilled with it. The pedal feel is not much harder than stock and I have had no slippage issues no matter how much I have abused it. Coming from my former Mcleod setup I am truely relieved to finally have a comfortable clutch that doesnt slip.

never slipped once but it basically made my car a pain to drive; i found myself wanting to drive a luxury car instead switched to the Aussie and the car is a joy to drive again not only is the peddle pressure different, but there is no chatter |

I let Chris and/or Doug at ECS make all those decisions for me. They tell me they're putting in an RPS single disk, and I don't argue. Chris has one in his 9 second C5 and said it's been flawless. Knowing Chris, he's not a "take the car out on Sundays only" either. I trust what he says. :yesnod:

Great shifting clutch, has some chatter, but what aftermarket clutches don't. :cheers: |
