Exedy Clutch

[PhatSol]

Just a question - why are exedy clutches so expensive? It seems like they come in at around 2x - 3x the price of other clutches of the same stage / type. So what is the big advantage?

what is expensive tho ?

a HD exedy organic setup ( clutch plate , pressure plate and pilot bearing) is around the $300 mark....hear nothign but good things about it :)

Now that i think about it , for street what other competitors are there ?

Ohh ok then, I stand corrected. The stage 1 and 2 kits are quite cheap. But what is with the $1100USD price tag for the stage 3 units (not that I want one, just interested to know)?

woooaahhh ? what are the specs on this stage 3 unit etc ? 3 puck or something simlar ?!? No doubt a race only style...do u have links to the info upon the clutches ?

Yeah it's a 6 puck ceramic, sprung centre. But the ACT and SPEC six puck ceramic clutches are nowhere near that price. Anyway link is here.

When people say they have an "HD exedy organic" setup, is that stage 1 or stage 2?

Generally an Exedy organic is a stage 1 kit, a thick cerametallic three puck is a stage 2, and a thin cerametallic 3 puck is a stage 3. Well thats for an accord anyway! ;)
