Would recommend the HD pressure plate regardless of the disc type.

For most people, the ME1-HDSS full face organic street disc unit will work great. For those street and strip racers, they might consider moving to the cerametallic disc material with the same HD pressure plate.

We have both in stock, ready to ship if anyone is interested.

We have the ACT HD Pressure Plate and street disk in our Evo X. It has been in the car for the last 6k miles. It has held up to the abuse of repeated launches, dyno pulls, no lift shifting, etc and it has not missed a beat.

ACT HDSS has a stiffer pedal feel but engages way better than the stock clutch. I am happy with mine. I have numerous launches and it is still holding up great.

Ok guys, I've settled on getting a clutch ordered up first thing next week, deciding which path to go is another story. I've had good success with the ACT 2600 series in my Eclipse so I'm leaning towards the "ACT-ME1-XTSS" pressure plate with street disc.

Has anyone experienced any high RPM lockouts like I've occasionally read about in the 8-9 forums? If I plan on using this as a daily driver but still rattle off low to mid 11's once I upgrade to a 400 whp turbo combo, would the "ACT-ME1-HDSS" clutch still be strong enough for me? I've also seen mention of an "HDTTP" version that TTP Engineering had tested, is that something they only sell?

For a flywheel I've settled on a ACT Streetlite (600550) Forged Chrome Moly Steel flywheel which should be a good combo of weight loss but streetability at ~13 lbs. Anyone with some wisdom on this please chime in.

We would shy away from the extreme pressure plate. There is no need for such excessive clamping force on the X and it could contribute to lockouts.
