hks clutch

Gents do any of you run the hks GD clutch kit on your singles? or the os giken clutch kit im around 650bhp and am after a light pedal clutch a little bit of chatters fine as expected but lighter pedal is a priority as i run a competition clutch and fly wheel at moment any thoughts? what do you all run and think of different set ups?

cheers jay

HKS GD and OS won't be very light James, i have the old version HKS Triple which is rated at 1000hp. very heavy, but the thing grips like freddy krugers nails

twin clutch setup from carbonetic/ RPS/ Exedy/ Clutchmasters might be an idea.

have you driven any of these dane? how are you mate? any currecnt pics?

give me a text i have a new phone....thanks mate

Check out RPS mate. Very happy with mine

I've had 2 HKS twins, both havent lasted very long (about 6k between them both) they have a nice pedal feel though.

My new clutch will NOT be an HKS as id like a few more miles between new clutch plates.

Like other have said check out the RPS range. After speaking to a few of the lads on here who use them i think they are far more user friendly.

I have always had RPS.

First the stage 1, then the stage 3 (6 puck), and now I went for the RPS triple carbon/carbon.

I love the RPS units.

P.S. My RPS stage 3 handles 651 rhhp very easily.

Luxluc what's the pedal feel like?

and lads do they last?

Pedal feel is like stock on the stage 3. I have to get the triple carbon installed yet.

Their life depends on your driving style. I never did drag launches in 1st gear.

how long did the clutch last u lux?

It's still on the car mate. At my current setup (651 rhhp), it copes without any issue. JamieP had the same one on his car for some time ... he abused it a lot and didn't have any issue neither.

After my first one warped turned blue and distorted and was knackered after 200ish burn outs and 1/4 mile runs we were told that they do not like slipping, they will heat quickly and distort. Use should be on or off.

Driving in traffic jams isn't easy without being able to slip the clutch also doing burn out and quick drag starts involves some clutch slip.

I'm not having another, my next clutch will either be able to handle slip or i will not be doing burn outs and drag racing, at 1k a go these clutchs work out expensive if replaced every couple of years.
