I ordered a act hdss but the stupid *** clutch shop sent me the wrong pressure plate. So I'm returning it and going with exedy now. I'll let you know how I like it

I have a 1J and I went with the act ts3-xtmm. Its almost like a stock pedal, not hard at all. No chatter and not too grabby. Honestly its exactly what I wanted. Been holding up great so far too.....

Always went with ACT HDSS on my previous 400rwhp+ cars, now im running this one with my Sc 1j now......

ACT is the best for me but it also has to do with how you drive, if you have a heavy clutch foot or like to rev the engine at stop lights, if you drive it stop and go city style alot, or if you like to ride the clutch. It all depends. IF yo like to ride the clutch when u drive then i dont recommend ACT........

I had Spec stage 3 on my W58 and i hated it, it was junk chatters , squeek .

Then Went with ACT Xtrm Stage 4 ,no squeeks,no chattering, feels like stock but didn't hold 500RWTQ for some reason.
The PP was distroyed when i pulled the trans out.

Yes and whatever you do don't buy SPEC, because they are junk.

Competition Stage 4 clutch here for the W58. I love this clutch. I got it from Florida at Velocity for $350 shipped. No sounds or anything. Very good clutch.
