Anyone know the weight of the stock unit including flywheel? That should get to the answer I think you were looking for Zeus; Does the RPS add any weight over the stock unit?

I have the stock clutch here right next to my foot. I will get you guys some numbers soon. I am also looking at the RPS clutch (I love my Exedy twin, no issues at all) but I just want to keep my options open when i rebuild my tranny some time next year. I have 2 on my list carbon carbon twin Exedy or RPS.

I heard a rumor that one of the shop cars that had this clutch was at Pruven a couple weeks ago. Im very interested to see some real worrld results since the only real positive RPS news I've heard is from the Supra community...

What were the results of their install / tests? How did the dyno session go?

You guys must have heard some feedback... so what was the vedict?





Thanks for an update.

We are using the RPS twin carbon/carbon and really like the results we are getting. The unit works nicely and has a stock like pedal feel while being able to hold plenty of power. If you guys have any other questions on it let me know. We also sell these unit at a nice EVOM price if you are interested.

I appreciate your quick response... it's great to hear that you guys at RnR are having positive results.

However, I am wondering about - specifically - the car that Pruven was tuning. It's a similar setup to what I am gunning for (I'll probably never be the the levels of RnR) so it would give me a better apples to apples comparison of what I need.

Thanks for the update,

I don't get it... 2 of you from RnR are logged in? Or are you just backing yourself up on this?
