Best Twin Disc Clutch?

Reports on the street/strip performance of the Carbonetics are good, but that isn't the problem. The biggest drawback to the Carbonetics clutch is the rebuild cost, which is about the same price as a new one. Unless you really want to fork over $2k+ install every time that one needs to be rebuilt, I'd stay away.

I believe there are several SPEC dealers around here. If you want to speak to a human on the telephone who is willing to give you his unbiased experiences with SPEC vs. QM, just give a call to Walker at mpfab.com (he had both on his car). He worked directly with SPEC on perfecting this clutch, so he can better tell you what went into it. I know that I went from a Tilton to the SPEC LT, and I should never had wasted my time and money with the Tilton.

I believe once CCI releases their twin there will be no doubt in my mind it will be one of the best.
Carbonetics went with making LSD's only. www.carbonlsd.com
I carry spec, qm, exedy. I don't really sell too many Spec twins, QM and Exedy have been the most popular. I have had both in my EVO in the past, the QM was a little noisey and took a day to get used to but that doesn't bother me.
If your at the point of power were you need a twin disk, your car is already making a slew of noises! haha.

Exedy Twin HD FTMFW!! I don't think I'll go with anything else. I DD the car and track it. I also drive like I stole the car sometimes....One of the best upgrades I've done to the car. Besides the Green and Stage 2 shep tranny, the Exedy Twin HD fits perfectly for those upgrades.

When I had my 35r powered talon, I had a quartermaster 7.25" twin disc installed. I daily drove it and it absolutely sucked @ss, but it held alot of power on the track (also very inexpensive). When I got my evo I installed an Exedy HD twin disc. I also daily drive it, and besides the clutch chatter, I can barely tell its a twin. It almost drives like stock. Very easy to launch (low 1.6 60ft easy). Cheap and reliable-Quartermaster. Reliable and easy to drive-Exedy.

For his power ratings, the Exedy Twin HD might be getting close to its limits of how much torque it can hold. Since he's gonna be running about 500whp/wtq, then at the crank it would be getting close to 600. The Exedy Twin is rated for about 560 lb/ft, so the triple may be needed. As for reliability, the Exedy's should be able to do 30,000+ easily.
