I have never bought from AMS but maybe they play games with shipping costs. For example, if they charge you $50 for next day delivery they can actually get it to appleton in 1 day shipping it UPS ground. The tracking number would reflect ground delivery and you may get pissed off that you paid a premium for next day but you got it ground (and they made good money on the shipping cost).

Good call.

anyone with an Exedy Twin HD care to comment on drivability compared to stock? I'd go the cheap way with ACT, but dont want the lockout issues...or a hackjob clutch that just increases pedal pressure and puts huge loads on crank and main bearings to hold more torque, not to mention i wanna learn to drive the **** outta this thing with autox/shawno this year i hope.

Daily driving is fine with Exedy twin. It does chatter quite a bit when its disengaged at a stop light, etc. Pedal is stiffer than stock by a fair margin but is lighter than the ACT. I really had no problems with my ACT and put about 35K on it.

p.s. something like this is SUPER tempting, esp if you can qualify for 0% financing.
