^why do you go through so much clutches? 4 clutches, even if you had the S from 2000 is waaay too much unless you keep upgrading..?

SOS wins by a lot

hands down SOS

Think a 8.5 Flywheel is too light? I feel inclined to give it a try after hearing about the benefit of lower rotating mass=quicker acceleration...

That's what I have. not installed yet though. My oem is holding 343 whp just fine still but upping the boost shortly.
For NA no reason to upgrade but if plans for boosting later on might as well.

SOS just makes great products, but if your staying mild, go with the Ebay one.

I have Harttopguy combo installed by previous owner, which is ACT with stock disc... Yea theres some buzz at times, but I think the paddle effort is too heavy for street. Then I tried my friends SOS Sport Clutch, its miles ahead of what my ACT is. Perfect street/stock like paddle weight, much grabber disc. Makes me want to ditch the ACT right away...
