Default F1 Racing clutches

Reviews please. I was so sure i was gonna pick a stage 2 up, but after I read a fellow who had problems with it, I'm not so sure.

Has anyone had any problems with these? I would go OEM but the F1 racing is less than half the price. (roughly 500 with a lightened flywheel!) from a board sponsor. I'm sure Im gonna pick a clutch up from him, but I'm trying to decide which ones are better.

so, experiences with F1 racing clutches? any other aftermarket clutches?

bad AND good please. thanks.

Don't do it.. It'll hurt you in the end. Their clutches are trash.

There's nothing wrong with oem unless if your going FI in the future.

So , if I go FI, like 300+ at wheels, what's a good setup?

Like ACT pressure plate/stock disk/stock AP1 flywheel?

Hm, I was going OEM but OEM costs 2x as much. I was thinking upgraded aftermarket is going to be better - as I plan on going FI or N20 in the near future....(very near) and my clutch is jussssst about to go. engage is at the top half inch if that, and so I want a new flywheel as well.

They arent bad but with the experience ive had with them your going to need to make a little spacer on the shaft that pushes down on the slave cylinder otherwise it will stay engaged... the pressure plate is thinner than oem lol, atleast in a 350z
