    sounds great from the description, but ACT seems to be the one to get. dunno really....

    BTW, I had great service from vivid when I had a problem with an order (my fault)

    you really want a stage 3 clutch? I hear they are murder on your trans. In my mind clutches are always cheaper to replace than transmissions are.

    As long as they are sprung hubs and you don't pop/dump the clutch stage 3 should be fine

    Solid disk clutches arent hard on the tranny if you know how to drive them.

    I'm just thinking a stage 3 clutch is WAY overkill. I don't think you'd want that beefy of a clutch on a daily driver.

    Ive driven one of those. It sucks.

    Vivid racing.....they suck.


    ding ding ding!!! winnAr!



    You could put a stage 47.3334 in an early 02 5mt USDM WRX and not break the trans.



    On the other hand, you could put a sissy stock clutch in a WRX with a super JDM RA-STi-Type R34-Spoon-Nismo-Mugen-TRD-Ford Motorsport SVT-GTO-ATR-WRC gearset that survives ground zero from a nuclear explosion, add in some dumbass and BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM bro3kn gear.

    All my stuff on my car came from VividRacing. I don't why people have such a bad time with them but all my stuff was just fine and came fast. Maybe it's because we have a business account and bought through that?

    I replace a lot of clutches. 90% of the time a stock one goes back in.
