Going to change to a manual gearbox, I will need a clutch with the ability to manage 550 to 600 BHP, can someone make a simple recommendation as to the kit I need please,

 

Again I want something that will last, and not need changing out on a weekly basis.

 

Thanks

Look at Competition Clutches website they have a range for different powers.

Is it for street or track use? if its street avoid the puck type clutches they are shite for everyday driving but great for track use.

If its a street clutch look at their stage 2 street clutch

I'm still waiting to hear back from competition clutch, I've messaged them on here & their website. Must be nearly 2 weeks now.

i have a stage 2 comp clutch i have only driver the car round the block as its in bits but its feels nice a light and easy to use like a stock one if it will handle 500 600 bhp is yet to be seen

Ive recently replaced my clutch and for me, the answer to this question is now very straight forward. For many years, the RPS Max Street clutch has been at the forefront of well reviewed clutches and will appear many times in a search on this forum and worldwide.

 

Previously, I chose to go for the RPS Sport Street as I didn't have plans for much power and was more interested in a light pedal than clamping force! Having decided to install 555s and up the boost, I thought it was best to upgrade the clutch in case in didn't hold during mapping. So I began to research what clutches were currently available and what came recommended since I looked 7 years ago.

 

My findings were inconclusive as there were many available but most came with horror stories. The RPS was still scored well for reliability but was renownedly heavy which is what put me off.

 

With some more research, I noticed on the Specialty Z website that the Max Street had been redesigned and after some email exchanges with Greg Dupree, I was assured that the new version (with the silver casing) was significantly lighter than its predecessor. Even though I could find very few reviews, I took a punt and went for the new RPS Max Street with an updated pivot fork. To say I'm happy with it is an understatement, it's f'ing great!

 

I can honestly say, it's possibly one of the lightest clutches I've ever depressed, according to Jimmer it's lighter than a healthy stock clutch system and its lighter than my fairly modern Mazda 6 daily drive yet it can handle 700ftlbs of torque, win-win!

 

Specialty Z are a great company to use, the customer service is quick and helpful, so my input/recommendation to this thread, is the RPS Max Street [emoji106]

After experiencing your clutch, I too want this clutch! It is on my shopping list!

I'll second that, even if mine is the "heavier" MK1 version with the RPS flywheel.

Joel, what flywheel do you use with it? Do you still have the clutch booster inside the drivers wing?

I use it with an RPS flywheel. I'm pretty sure the clutch booster is still present, unless Jimmer knows otherwise? [emoji53]
