Is there any update on when this kit might come out?

Here's an email that I got on 10/31....not looking great....I currently can't run in sport mode due to slippage haha. Trying to baby it till they release...and begging for one early didn't work HAHA.Is there any update on when this kit might come out?
ACT does not disappoint. They've also rated these with like 20% safety margin in mind.So the weight of the assembly equals the weight of the factory flywheel. Also the spec for the six puck is in the mid 400s. Interesting.
Any update on this clutch on how it is holding up? I will be getting mine installed right after the releaseHey all,
My 17' Si was used as a mule car for the new ACT clutch system. Here are some specs:
I opted for the organic disc and have put a little over 500 miles on the clutch so far.
- Kit will be offered with multiple types of friction discs paired with a Heavy duty pressure plate.
- Organic Disc: 363 ft lbs
- 6-Puck (Sprung or unsprung): 464 ft lbs
- Streetlight single-mass flywheel weighs 17.5 lbs.
- Stock unit weighs 31.5 lbs (44% Weight loss).
- Pedal effort went from ~20 lbs to 30 lbs- hardly noticeable.
- Expected release won't be till August/September.
- Expected cost has not been calculated as of yet.
I cannot talk highly enough on the quality and general drive-ability of the clutch. No clutch chatter. No CEL. There isn't even a noticeable difference in operational noise that seem to plague single-mass flywheels. Revs drop more quickly now with the lightened rotating assembly. I plan on removing the clutch delay valve this weekend as well; I'll update this post once I finish. The car currently has a TSP Stage 1 tune on it. I was experiencing some slippage in 4th gear with the stock clutch. Obviously now with the ACT clutch, slippage has been eliminated. I plan on running a e85 tune in the future (Once the TSP plug-n-play kit comes back into stock).
I also had the opportunity to get a tour of their facility. They make just about everything in-house; able to maintain strict quality control on all their products. All clutch assemblies are balanced to .25 oz-in (Stock systems are usually balanced around .50 oz-in). ACT has historically striven to produce the highest quality options; never rushing to be the first manufacturer to release a product.This specific clutch has been in the works for some time now. I actually had an ACT sprung 6-puck clutch in a previous car (Mazdaspeed6)- my experience with it was great. In previous interactions, their customer service was always top-notch.
If anyone is in the market for a new clutch, I would highly recommend the ACT kit. Although it won't be released until Fall, I believe its worth the wait.
I'll keep this post updated and attempt to answer any questions.
Their most likely going to do a preorder on release so may take a while longer lolAny update on this clutch on how it is holding up? I will be getting mine installed right after the release
