Whatever you buy please do not risk wasting your money on ACT, these use bad quality remanufactured pressure plates and l have known a few people have problems.

Your choice of clutch will come down to the power level your car has and how you want to use your car, i.e. if you want to go Drag racing you could do with an upgrade even on a stock car

Hope this helps.

I know it\'s a bit off topic but where did you get your laser alignment done?
Cheers

Hi Mark,

The mobile guy l used to use is no longer around but l have a big tyre shop near me that can do 4 wheel  alignment, l was going to pop in and check they had the spec to align an RX-7

EH :confused:

I now have a ACT clutch in my car. I also think Gary Gooding had one before his crazy HKS beast. No part of my clutch is stock or re conn\'d To start with it bares no relation in apperance to the stock version ?????? This clutch was stongly recomended to me and so far it has been out standing.
We will soon see if it is as good as I am making out

Sorry  :( only going by personal experience, and the remanufacture thing
 ( which l had already suspected) was told to me by a man from Exeddy who visited us when he was here from Japan, indeed he also said they had also found ACT repainting their stock units and reselling them as HiPo clutches!

Just telling you what l was told by someone who should now.
