Koeck Legacy Donating Member 34 Member For: 15y 4m 8d Gender: Male Location: Canberra Posted 12/07/12 03:04 AM Posted 12/07/12 03:04 AM G'day Fellas,Im in the market for a new clutch for my FG XR6 turbo and my two main options are:- Exedy Heavy Duty Clutch part no. FMK-7892SMFHD (PRICE $1299) Includes: Clutch pressure plate, Clutch Plate, Single mass Performance flywheel and Concentric slave cylinder.AND- ACE Clutches Option 3 + (PRICE $1890) Includes: 11" Billet Steel Flywheel, 11" Billet Steel Burst Proof Pressure Plate with Increased Clamp, 11" High Performance Sprung Organic Composite Plate, Alloy Concentric slave Cylinder, Flywheel and Pressure Plate Bolts, Spigot BearingI can't seem to find a good comparison between the two anywhere so I though I'd start one. I have heard the opt 3+ is almost as light as the standard clutch but havent heard much about how the Exedy feels under the foot. My mate had an HD Exedy in his BA and it was real heavy. It is my daily driver so I would like the clutch to be as light as possible. Interested to hear what people have to say about them.Cheers in advance

When ppl used to jump in my car with the exredy they hated it but I bought the car with it so I got used to it and I wasnt a manual driver.. Plus in traffic my knee started to hurt with it..With the ace you get a light billet flywheel and alloy slave just mentioning a couple,, big difference in weight compaired to the exredy.. I love it
