Many misconceptions here.

ACT disc is not a repackaged oem, it is a different disc.

I have installed around 25 clutches in the S2000.

Here are the setups:

aprox. 12 Act PP/Comptech FW/oem disc...no buzz
aprox. 6 Act PP/toda FW/ oem disc....no buzz
approx 3-5 full oem....no buzz
1 competition clutches PP/ CC disc/CC flywheel....major buzz
1 CC 6 puck sprung disc/CC PP/comptech flywheel....major buzz

Bottom line, it has proven all my cars without an OEM disc have the buzz. All with the oem disc are buzz-free.

I'll be putting in an ACT PP/ACT disc/oem flywheel soon. My guess is the car will develop the buzz from the ACT disc, which it does not have now.

Kleecker.....I'll bet it's the disc. Pic...see which your disc looks like.

OEM on the left...........................ACT on the right

Hey Billman, My ACT disc installed 3 years ago was identical to the removed OEM disc. Even had "Honda" stamped on the hub.

Maybe these latest ACT discs are something new, instead of an oem?

Beats me bro

The one I have here has ACT in ink on the friction surface, but Exedy on the center hub. W T F
