ACT or RPS

Its time for a new clutch. I cant decide which brand to go with, so im looking for some input from others who have/had or know someone who has one of these two clutches. im not worried about the price difference, just performance, reliability, streetability.

Ill be deciding between an ACT Heavy Duty Clutch
ACT
EDIT: Why does it say OEM Disc? Does the RPS use an OEM disc?
or the RPS Sport Clutch
RPS

Ive gone through many retailers and some say "ACT offers more dependability and power"...while others say "RPS is cheaper and more reliable."

which one would you guys choose.

i am also gonna be getting these little gadgets to help out my new clutch...has anyone else changed to these parts? noticed any difference?

IMO it's 6 on one hand and half a dozen on the other. It doesn't really matter.


It is recommended that you replace the flywheel bolts also. Courtesy sells them.

i did a write up on the clutch line. i have it on my car.
i'd go with the ACT. Their pressure plate is HEAVY DUTY. It's a pretty piece, kinda a shame you gotta put in inside the tranny.
Pressure Plate from ACT can be ordered in, i think, 3 different strengths. You'll be happy with wichever you choose.
