The shop I uses sells all ATS and RPS products. They recommend the RPS Max street over the others due to:

Price
Life of clutch
Drivablity

They said that from their exerience that the 6 puck on the Z wears out faster than the Max street. If money is not an issue than they said go with ATS.
I just bought mine and am waiting to recieve it.

I have the RPS on my car and I really like it...no slipping for me...23k miles on it with over 400whp (around 10k of which were over 450whp). Audible Mayhem seems to have had a different experience with it slipping though close to 500whp. So, I would say it is a great clutch if you don't mind a really stiff clutch that is pretty grabby and you have less than 500whp (aka non-built motor). Still great clutch and I won't replace it until I build my motor.

Well right now....the when and even still IF I build my motor isn't known. If everything goes the way I want...it will be a ATS twindisc with the heavy pressure plate. But who knows, if money is tight (which it probably will be), I may keep the RPS until it slips, then replace it.

Here are some pics of my Carbonetic(new ATS brand) Triple Carbon Clutch 1350kg and heavy flywheel. This clutch is a highly engineered piece and the nicest clutch I have ever seen.

that is because ACT has both a sprung hub 6 puck and an unsprung 6 puck.

They are both listedas holding 582 ft-lb of torque.

Parts numbers are:

NZ1-HDG6 for the sprung 6 puck
NZ1-HDR6 for the unsprung 6 puck
