I have the SS trim Spec twin disc and having only put 200 miles on it and need at least another 300 for a proper break-in, can say that this twin disc is absolutely awesome to drive with pedal feel AND effort being just like stock!! The SS-trim is there "entry" level supertwin with both discs being one side full faced Carbon-Kevlar and the other a Carbon Metallic 6 puck. One disc is spring hub and the other is solid hub. NO rattling or any other noises that some people complain about with a twin disc...hope this helps

A question about spec, their entry torque capacity is 900, does anyone actually make 700+wtq?? That's crazy and I don't see why the higher trim's would be needed.
Is there any downside to an over rated clutch like the P-trim?

I'm a little suspect as to how much tq. they actually will hold, but I won't be making anywhere near 900lb ft. of tq....more like 550 lb/ft once I go 35psi on full tilt with E85 on my FP HTA35r

The clutch should handle what ever you throw at it.....they have a lot of surface area and a good diaphragm. I have a 6262 on my car and it had absolutely no signs of slipping.....even when I was making 33psi

I've had my Exedy Twin for a week and am still breaking it in but can chime in confirming everything you've already read. Yes, it sounds like a coffee grinder when disengaged. It's also pretty smooth engagement. I'm coming from an ACT that blew a spring out of the clutch disk at Lime Rock, taking a chunk of metal housing with it. So far I'm quite pleased with the twin and hope to start autoXing it within the next week or two.
