Default Clutch Recommendations

Hello there

I am going to be putting down in excess of 400 Tq / 400 Hp in the next 2~3 weeks

Im looking for a w58 clutch/pressure plate that will hold up that power and more until I find and swap a R154.

Ive been looking at the Clutchmasters FX400 kit with the 4 puck disc.


IF anyone else has any suggestions chime in.

I use a Competition Clutch stage 4 that I got from Josh at First State (Josh@FSM on here, TheQuickness on SupraForums). Incredibly well priced and should hold up great to that power level, and if you have issues with it Josh will take care of you.

How much did you pay for it and
will it take the abuse of hard launches and daily driving ?

I want to say it was like $375? It was upper 300's but less than 400, you'd have to call Josh directly for pricing, just tell him I recommended the clutch to you.

Josh and one other person had it happen where the pressure plate broke on a hard launch, but that was on a full drag slick leaving off a 2-step with a lot of boost, and Competition Clutch warrantied it out I believe. Something else to ask him about if you call.

Here's a pic of mine before I put it in, also came with throwout bearing, release bearing, and alignment tool.

Competition it is..

Making a call to Josh tomorrow.

Price blows that FX400 i was looking out of the water AND the part about being warrantied kills it.
