Tobey Awesome... Member 407 Member For: 14y 5m 17d Gender: Male Posted 14/08/11 08:02 AM Share Posted 14/08/11 08:02 AM Its an F6 Clutch guys - Twin plate AP Racing. Plenty of people have had them to 350. If you don't drive it with too much slipping/dumping you will be fine at your power level.If it's not slipping, dont replace it, simple as that. But factor in the cost of upgrading in the event it does start.When you are ready, depending on where you're located, have a word with Race Brakes Sydney. You might find, the above can be had a little cheaper...Also, for those wondering the difference between 3 and 3+ its the coppermix friction plate and billet faced pressure plate.The 3+ being billet is also lighter (as in the rotating mass). However the clutch feel is apparently as heavy as stock, but I would say its still much lighter.The option 4 will be too harsh for street driving, hence being not as popular as the Opt 3+.

Feels like stock.The opt 3+ is 410rwkw... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they do upgrades to beef up the the AP clutch?I would have thought that this would be the best solution if that is the case. Its a good clutch, so just upgrade the friction material on the friction plates and hey presto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tobey Awesome... Member 407 Member For: 14y 5m 17d Gender: Male Posted 14/08/11 09:36 AM Share Posted 14/08/11 09:36 AM Ah, that reminds me, and no-one has mentioned it.Just upgrade the plates in the clutch like Craig. has said. There is a couple of places that do the coppermix/composite plates. I'm sure RBS could sort it out with the supplier they use! Best to give Matt a call.
