LNF Clutches, Holy Hell
So my clutch is starting to slip anymore. I thought I would see what you all go with once this happens. So far I've just seen the SPEC, ZZP, and Exedy clutches and I must say these make my Lotus and Evo clutches seem affordable. Is there ever, or would someone like to make a type of group buy for the clutches? Specifically ZZP.
I am trifecta tuned and make about 320whp and 370wtq so I require the stg 4 from zzp, costing around 775 without a t.o.b. Not to mention there are plans to make a tad more power so I gotta upgrade.
Compared to the cost of the car these clutch prices are ridiculous... Especially seeings how the stock clutch is only 250 bucks, plate and all.
So, how do you guys do it or what do you suggest?

My clutch aint slipping but no way I'm passing that deal up.
If you get a Spec clutch get a + model, they seem to have the least failure rate from everything i've read on the web.

Yea, not so bad. On ZZP's site I know they suggest against SPEC and Clutchmasters. I'll check out KY clutches here in just a few. Still crazy they cost so much. Surprised more people haven't had slipping issues with so many Trifecta tuned cars.

I love the price of these KY clutches but price reminds me of the ACT's for evo's. Worked great for the first year then everyone found out the first line destroyed synchro's and don't release properly. Lots of banged up tranny's in the end.
I'm gonna shoot my order for the zzp, gotta trust the guys doing true R&D with high HP cars. Thanks for all the input guys.

Lol ky clutch makes there own friction disc and with most my cars ive owned i wnet to ky clutch..... ive never had a issue. i blew up two clutchmasters 6 pucks double sprung ceramic but not the ky clutch.
so id say ky clutch is a good point for u too look at. and price is the discounted price thanks to me.

Well with the hypersingle, if your not planning on anything big there is no point for this clutch since it has a bad pedal pressure, bad engagemtn feel, and ect. The clutchmasters are good clutches somewhat to some power i guess but when i blow one friction disc up by the pads litterally flying off and the second one the internal springs grenaded then whats the point to even consider it. But yeahh
