Anybody know this company ?
They produce a clutch for the ( S ) ( Called dual friction ....I don't know what it means ) (90 % increase of holding capacity !!
See that link = [URL=http://www.centerforce.com/generalinfo.htm[/URL]
Anybody use it ?
I had on my mind to go for the star clutch stage 3 but the guy at the performance shop told me that centerforce was better !!! And now i'm confuse !!! F***K Help

 

centerforce does make good products, I agree with that. guaging one is better than the other, especially since Star is a small company with a narrow range of products, I find it difficult to believe that the guy at the shop can compare the two.

without trying/testing the centerforce, but knowing about their products in other cars, their dual force clutch would be guaged at either a Stage II or a Stage II.5 clutch from Star - but not a carbon/carbon setup like the Stage III.

 

Thank for the reply, i realy like the Stage 3 carbon,but i wondering ...Is it last as long as the original one ?

 

Centerforce seems to have a checkered reputation. In many applications they are considered one of the best (I know some V8 drag racers that swear by them), but with others the rep is not as good. I have seem more than one report of unresponsive behavior with some their PPs. I would advice you talk with someone using a S2000 unit before deciding.

The Kevlar or Carbon friction disks should have a much longer life than the OEm units.

 

I don't see any issues of a shortened life span of the carbon/carbon Stage III setup, but it all depends on how you use it. Maybe someone else can shed some light on carbon/carbon disks as opposed to standard clutch disks and kevlar & kevlar woven disks and their life spans.

 

With the removal of asbestos from the friction market place (which was great stuff except for the health issues) good friction material for clutch disks has been a more difficult choice.

Most stock disks friction material is designed for smooth operation. It is typically made of fiberglass and metal fiber reinforced cellulose in a thermosetting phenolic resin base. This material is sort of like an organic brake pad. The metal and fiberglass strands provide burst strength (which is the friction materials resistance to breaking up falling apart) and high temp frictional properties. The cellulose is like cardboard (no kidding) and helps initial grip. Let

 

The Star stage 3 would be the choice for FI ? I want more grip; but, I don't want to pull the covering off the dash everytime I shift. Any ideas?

 

BAD S2K - It really depends what you can tolerate, how you drive, and how you use your car. I'll PM you my #/email address and we can discuss it if you are in the market.
