1500$ Clutch Opinons
Whats the best clutch i can get for about 1500$ for an Evo that i can beat on and will get at least 30k plus miles on it, that is streetable, will catch and is fairly lightweight. i need the whole clutch kit by the way, mine just went out at 11k. Give me some input i was looking at exedy single and rnr sport but just wanted some of u guys opinions.

Try exedy twin plate They are awesome people complain about them sometimes but its all in the installation of the acctual clutch one small mistake causes the clutch to wear out a lot faster then normal

I dont necessarily drag it but i beat on it every day, im an aggressive driver but its a sports car so thats what its made for. Lets just say high rpm launches, slips, and feathering is common. just want something i can beat on and will hold for a respectable amount of miles priced around 1500$

ACT is a great cheap clutch. I recommend it with a street disk. Pedal pressure definately will increase over stock. Some evos experience high rpm shifting issues and require clutch adjustment with it. On cars frequently drag racing making mid power 350-400whp I have seen it slip after a hard launch and only a few thousand miles. It just glazes on a hard launch. Cheap to rebuild as the disk is less than $200.
Exedy twin non-carbon is a good option in the price range said above but again will not handle lots of high rpm launches and track trips at over 350whp. It is a great clutch for most evo owners because it will hold a lot of power on the street as long as you don't take it to the track or do a lot of high rpm launching. Expensive to rebuild and very hard to source the parts.
ATS Twin Carbon/Metal is a great clutch as well. Will handle lots of power and will handle drag racing as well. Stock pedal feel etc. Expensive to rebuild as each disk is over $400.
RPS Carbon/Carbon- baddest clutch around. High hp and drag launches? No problem. Rebuild cost around $600.
There are many great clutch options out there just search. Let me know if you have any questions.

exedy twin disc, ive read a great revies in SCC they said you can beat and beat on it, and its very streetable, launches like stock. it's about an even $1500 or so depending on where you go, but thats my choice.
