wow only 43k on stock clutch is shot.which of these clutchs are best?

Act evo street disk clutch kit 500 bucks clutch masters kit 477 or exedy single plate organic clutch kit 504. My budget is arouns 500 to 550 so out of those which is best? And if none then what's do you recommend for around 500 bucks?

Got around 300 whp, maybe an extra 30 whp at the most when its all said and done. Thanks

Ps I've launched this thing under 10 times and I do drive hard but I don't beat on it, very surprised its staring to slip already

I think 43k is pretty good for a stock clutch. I know I'd go through one alot faster.

Don't be surprised its slipping already, stock evo clutches are a hit or miss and mods don't help. Act street will do

Ofcourse you'll be upset as was I when my went at 15k ( yes I know how to drive a manual) but when you mod an evo the clutch is the first thing to go.

Go ACT HDSS, im about to put my 2nd one in and it lasted forever. I had the CM stage 1 in once and it's a waste of money imo.

You will never look back once you get a Exedy Twin Disk. Best thing about this clutch, is when it goes out, you can buy new replacement disks for $450. But it cost $1425 new.

3 clutches in 2 months wow lol thats bad. and i heard amazing things about the exedty twin but that just isnt in my budget right now. so the act street is most likely going to be my choice. i will look in to the hdss act clutch as well, so far thanks for al the help
