Hey I need a new clutch and I was wondering if anyone knows anything about this clutch: F1 RACING STAGE 1 CLUTCH 89-98 SUPRA NT / LEXUS SC300. This clutch is selling on Ebay for $91 and $18 for shipping. Does anyone know it this clutch is good or if its trash? Does anybody have any feedback?
Thanks

 

its probably trash if its on ebay for that cheap.

 

I agree, sounds like garbage. What mods do you have? If you're stock and planning to stay N/A, I would recommend the Centerforce Dual Friction Stage 1. It's great for N/A power levels, drives like stock and holds great. Its holding up fine behind my 1jz so far, but once I start making much more power, I have a feeling its going to start to go.

 

you could get a OEM clutch kit pretty cheap. if your on a budget like me you could re-use the pressure plate and just throw a new disc and bearings in there. mylexusparts has a clutch disc for i think 60-80 bucks?

 

^^What he said. Just get a act street disc, it will cost more but its worth it.

 

SPEC makes quality clutches. I put a stage 1 one mine and never looked back.

 

It is trash, don't even bother wasting your money on it. I love my centerforce dual friction, feels just like stock. I don't know why people think it can't hold power. I was at 309rwhp for about a 1 1/2 years. I have been at around 400rwhp for a year and it is just now starting to slip.

 

Is it really that strong? I always thought it was weaker because I heard other people bash it. I love the feel of it though. Its a great clutch.

 

if youre on stock power and not looking to upgrade any time soon get the exedy stock replacement off ebay. i bought mine on ebay. it was cheap and holds up great. i have had it for 2 years now and 2 seaons of drifting and, knock on wood, havent even showed a sign of wear yet. oh and i already put about 35000 miles on it since i put it in.

 

i have the Spec Stage 3 and loving it so far...

 

i dont know about you but ill be getting an exedy next haha. i heard some real good stuff about it

 

Yeah my 95 sc300 is stock and I plan on keeping it stock for at least two years untill i graduate from college, then Ill go 2jzgte...... so it seems to me that exedy is the way to go huh?

 

Ya I've heard lots of good stuff about the exedy too.

 

i have a competition stage 4 on my na and i love it stock feel but grabs like a beast

 

Definitely a good choice.



With that being said, Clutch Masters Stage 1 will also be a sound replacement.
