I have the fx400 rigid disc clutch and dual-mass flywheel on my 2019 si. Honestly it all depends on your long term goals with the car if it'll be worth it for you.
I’m gonna build it is my daily but I always make my daily my race car and every place I look the disc is sold out I can’t find one
Have you heard anything about the spec stage 3+ clutch kit?
No, but Edge Autosport has a Youtube channel that I follow with their 10th gen Si build and they have a video on the spec 3+ clutch kit install and review. I'd watch that and see what you think.
Lol sounds like we are in the same boat friend, ive heard the same things but sadly i heard them after i installed the fx400. But when the times comes and this clutch starts to go i will probably be going with the ctr retro cuz ive heard alot of great things about it
Ya same, here, that is my number one pick but it was sold out at the time that I needed a clutch asap. It seems to be the best one. I actually like the FX400 just not the longevity of it. I like the pedal stiffness, the way it grabs, the lightweight flywheel , all that. It is unfortunate they do not last long. I'm at about 3-4K miles in. Wish you luck!
Yea i actually still have the dual mass flywheel on mine. I wouldnt say the fx400 is the best for daily driving but i like harsh and rough rides so it doesnt bother me much. Pedal feel isnt much different than stock but it grabs way faster and way harder than stock lol Ima be honest i dont actually know how many miles are on mine but i got a question for you, do you get alot of clutch chatter? Sometimes coming out in first gear if i release the pedal slightly faster than normal i get this grinding sound that i can feel all the way in the clutch pedal. Other than that i get the usual clutch chatter when moving around at low speed
I noticed a lot of that chatter, and especially in reverse while it was being broken in. I guess it still does chatter a little cause I had my windshield replaced last week and when the guy drove my car up to me, I noticed all the chatter while standing there, but when I'm in the car the only time I notice chatter is in reverse. It isn't really noticeable in any other gears anymore. And I would agree, this is a great race application for track or drag strips, but as far as a daily, it's very doable but probably not the easiest option by any means. I personally prefer the lightweight flywheel cause it makes rev matching so much quicker and easier (for me) I can just just barely blip the throttle to make it raised 1500rpms instead of kind of pressing on the gas slowly and heavily like before. To each their own though. Not sure if one is necessarily better than the other.
I have the SPEC Stage 3+ clutch with their aluminum smf. Ive had it on my car for about 5k miles and i love it. I contacted them and they werent sure if it fit, so i offered to drive out there for them to install as i live in GA (bout a 3hr drive). Long story short, it fit perfectly. But the guys there ragged on the si and the type R stock clutches, that they are terrible at holding power. I was on the TSP stg 1 tune bone stock and my flywheel was so glazed when they took it off, it was unreal. But anyways the clutch is still pretty street friendly you can kinda ride it although it does jerk ya if you ride it to much and when you dump the clutch you can really feel it smack the flywheel and grip that ass. I would not get a puck clutch of any kind for daily driving.
