Damn Cheston... I have wanted a dual carbon clutch since... well, forever. The OEM clutch is pissing me off more every day. I think I have air in the line or something, it has really weird engagement properties especially when cold.

Let us know how streetable it is. When I had the HKS Triple on my Supra, pedal feel was stock, but engagement point was minute which made it a pain on the street.

yea. i was contemplating the triple ATS that you were telling me about, and then i found this on sale in the drivetrain classified... we'll see how it is... my feelings are that they may be very similar to the ats twin, i gotta see who makes these for cusco.. the factory specs are too similar to ATS... maybe they source the friction discs? the flywheel looks similar..

No, thats a carbon clutch, it will wear down faster than a stock clutch (on stock power)

But that will hold ALOT more power than a stock clutch could ever dream of.

Actually, carbon disc will last much longer than traditional organic or semi-metallic clutch materials...even on an NA car.
