T2 MSW Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Ive put the RPS 6 puck on mine and have been very impressed with it, I would recommend matching it up with the stock flywheel though to keep the noise down Can be a lttle grabby when its cold. For this reason maybe the streetmax would be a better choice if its just a road car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PAH its not even that loud mike! your brakes make more noise than that thing does!

JamieP Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 RPS street max, mine has done 16k, shit load of dyno sessions, couple trackdays and lasted 2 seasons of suprapod, the thing seems indestructible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He he, get them replaced I thought it was mega heavy at first but as its bedded in its more and more like a stock clutch. prob about 10-15% heavier. Put it this way there is no issues with holding the clutch presssed at lights for example Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hodge Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 what sort of power will a rps street max handle and is it benificial to use a lightened flywheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Southbend would be my personal choice. Very strong and live a long time, seriously good price too when bought direct. (edit - just seen Dude/AFR are offering these so there's another option for you) RPS street max (single plate) always seem to have good feedback on here over the years, but are more costly.

JamieP Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 (edited) what sort of power will a rps street max handle and is it benificial to use a lightened flywheel. Mine is on a stock original flywheel, handle 600bhp with ease, as said above plenty people rate the southbend so its probably just as good. My advice is try and stay with a single plate clutch on a stock flywheel, them light flywheels are horrible noisy buggers.

imi Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 I'm running a RPS street clutch too, have been for the past 4 years (one of which has been with the single 555bhp) without issues. more than happy to stick with the RPS again unless something better and cheaper was available.
