I had a extreme single plate and it sh@t it self at about 330rwkw. 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

If your aiming for 350, I would not look past the option 5 mal wood unit, I had the extreme in it , the biggest POS out, shuddering and not very friendly, If someone told you you can Machine the flywheel he is as much of nob for that as he is for trying to sell the extreme unit to you, the BA flywheel is a flexplate with a plate bolted to it that is prone to warping. good luck if you go this way !

the tex clutch will hold the power . but after having a feel of the pedal, I was rapt that I got the twin plate option 5 unit off Mal,

plus when the Mal wood starts slipping, it will only cost about 4 -5 hung for a rebuild

with the option 3 , it might be a bit of a gamble after 350rwkw ... but that's my opinion. the AP is a top unit but very exxy !

there is also the CI (clutch industries) twin plate but I have mixed stuff on that some say not bad some say POS

My Advise choose carefully, cause it will make your car into a dog to drive if you get it wrong !
