Complete Clutch Directory! Clutch Masters/Competition/ACT/Fidanza/Exedy & More
At S&R Performance, we cannot stress enough the importance of proper clutch selection. There are tons of options out there and unfortunately, we see improper clutch selection all of the time. Some people get too much of a clutch, some get too little of a clutch and neither of which work out well.
I figured this would be a good place to show case what each brand has to offer and if you have specific input, feel free to add it and feel free to ask any questions!
Clutch Masters:
Clutch Masters has been around for a very long time. They were one of the first to really kick it off with the growth of the Import Market and backed a lot of the up and comers that are record holders, today. They have a very extensive product line that offers something for everybody.
FX100:
Heavy duty pressure plate; steel-backed organic disc; smooth engagement. The Clutch Masters FX100 clutch is designed to be a dependable and economical alternative to most OEM clutches. The FX100 is made for the daily driven cars with basic bolt-ons. The Clutch Masters FX100 pressure plate offers 70% more clamping force over a stock pressure plates. The Clutch Masters FX100 disc is a steel-backed organic disc with the highest quality hub assemblies available to ensure durability and driveability.
FX200:
Heavy duty pressure plate; steel-backed Carbon-Kevlar disc; smooth engagement & extended life. The Clutch Masters FX200 is recommended for the builds with a little more than just basic bolt-ons. The FX200 offers comparable torque capacity to an FX100, but provides exceptionally smooth engagement & extended life (thanks to the Kevlar).
Owners that daily drive their cars and want quick engagement when driven enthusiastically need to look no further than the Clutch Masters FX200 kit.
FX300:
Heavy duty pressure plate; segmented Carbon-Kevlar disc; exceptional holding power & long life. The Clutch Masters FX300 kit offers 110% increase over most OEM clutches holding capacity and has firm, positive pedal feel. Cars that have more than just the basic bolt-ons and/or forced induction upgrades will want to get the FX300.
The FX300 is an excellent clutch for the car that is driven aggressively every day.
The Clutch Masters FX300 clutch utilizes a full face clutch with segments of Kevlar to provide more holding power than a FX100 or FX200, yet still offer exceptionally smooth driveability and long life. THIS DISC MATERIAL REQUIRES A 500 MILE BREAK IN.
FX400:
Heavy duty pressure plate; sprung, 4- or 6-pucked ceramic disc; quick engagement; tremendous holding power. If your car has major upgrades and is making loads of power and/or your car is a dedicated track car, then you should look at the FX400 clutch from Clutch Masters. You will experience harsher engagement that is not suggested for daily driven cars, but is ideal for the for aggressively driven weekend toy and track driven car. Clutch Masters offers the FX400 as a 4-puck or a 6-puck kit. The 6-puck kit will dissipate heat better than the 4-puck version, but the 4-puck can handle a little bit more power.
FX500:
FX500 clutch kits offer a holding capacity of 200-400% over stock and utilize a solid hub for fast engagement. This clutch is not recommended for cars that see the street. It is a unsprung style disc that will yield an extremely hard and quick clutch engagement with no slippage. This is the perfect clutch for full race or drag modified builds. The 6-puck kit will dissipate heat better than the 4-puck version, but the 4-puck can handle a little bit more power.
Aluminum Flywheel:
Made from 6061-T6 aircraft grade billet aluminum with a replaceable high-carbon steel friction surface and an OEM steel ring gear secured by bolts, Clutch Masters flywheels are some of the finest available on the market. Each unit is certified to meet SFI Spec 1.1 or 1.2 and is backed by a limited lifetime warranty.
If you have any questions about the Clutch Masters line up, please let us know!
Let me know a year, make and model and I'll get you a great price on the right kit for you!

Fidanza Clutch and Flywheels Options for your 350Z
Fidanza has been a drive train leader for years! Their product line offers a very complete selection of clutches to handle just about any power level and driving style. Check out what we have available for you!
Fidanza 2.1 Clutch Kit
Combine carbon and Kevlar, give them a steel backing and you have the most durable and longest lasting street clutch available. Fidanza engineered the torsion damper and marcel cushion of the 2.1 to engage smoothly and quickly. Great for a daily driver!
Fidanza 3.2 Clutch Kit
Like with their lightweight flywheels Fidanza choose to use the very best materials for the 3.2 clutch kit. With 100% Kevlar on each of the four pucks of the 3.2 you get more grip and more life than the 2.1 offers. However, since it has no marcel (cushion) 3.2 sacrifices a little bit of its smooth engagement. Still, the 3.2 disc can be installed on a daily driven car.
Just behave and be patient during the 500 mile break-in period, once break-in is over you can be as nasty as you want to the 3.2.
Fidanza 4.3 Clutch Kit
The Fidanza 4.3 is one mean clutch. Your footwork better be good, it's no walk in the park. Just because it has a torsion damper like the 3.2 doesn't mean it drives like it. Those are ceramic buttons attached to that puck. They provide quite a grip upon engagement. That means power is planted straight to the pavement.
Don't be scared though, it's not going to give you a larger left leg.
Fidanza 5.4 Clutch Kit
If you choose the Fidanza 5.4 for your build, you're either building an all out race car or you are mental, or maybe a little of both. The stage 5.4 disc will show you what grip really feels like; there is no torsion damper, no marcel, and the pads are made from sintered iron. What you'll feel is instantaneous differential snapping power. This is for the race cars only.
You don't want to drive a sintered iron disc on the street. Really.
Fidanza Light Weight Flywheel
Fidanza Aluminum Flywheels are made from 6061 T6 billet aluminum for superior strength and weight reduction. Fidanza flywheels are CNC machined at a constant speed for precise fit and finish, and feature a replaceable 1045 high-carbon steel friction plate with AN military-grade fasteners and a hardened 1050 ring gear. You will never have to replace your flywheel again as you can just swap friction plates, and reinstall. All these features make this a quality lightweight flywheel at a great price.
Hopefully this is information that helps you with some good clutch info. Again, be sure to check out our website at www.sandrperformance.com and on FACEBOOK!
