The exedy twin carbon (MSPR $3058) holds 500wtq the RPS billet twin carbon holds 700wtq (msrp $3295). Which one do you really think is overpriced? Unless your referring to exedy's non carbon units but then you can't really compare.

Is there a clutch out there for much less money that will be good enough for most peoples power goals? Hell yes, but for the people that wanna get nasty with the power the twin billet is pretty sick I'm looking forward to driving impressions

held up to some fantastic high RPM launches..one after the other.

however, the center clip on the pressure plate eventually gave way and that was the end.

People have tested the exedy carbon hundreds of times and know it works on cars over 500wtq and RPS just CLAIMS it holds 700wtq. Only time will tell and i am very interested in the results.

It's been a while since i did a clutch job, and IIRC i wanna say carbonetics does not have carbon on pressure plate or flywheel either... TTT for confirmation...
