Gave me the absolute Sh@ts because I orignally spent 1800 on the extreme clutch then I had to spend a further 2250 for the malwood option 5 twin plate. Wife was not happy!OH yeh it only took 3months to die in the a@s. The clutch I have now has been in for about 15 months with over 350rwkw and now 375rwkw for the last 4 months and now signs of slippping!Depends what your primary purpose is. The dragstrip will wear it out fast but that type of punishment will wear out any clutch. My car gets driven hard every time I drive it and the clutch touch wood is still fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
