Which clutch?? Ordering today!

Hey guys, I am going to order a clutch today. Had to postpone my appointment at ZZP because it cooled down here over the weekend and it started to slip bad. I need to get a new clutch but i would really like some input as to what guys out there are using. As it sits, it is an 08 SS stock turbo, full bolt ons, and meth injection. I would assume it is going to make some pretty decent torque numbers. I plan on going s256ET in the near future. ANY INPUT WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!! Right now I'm leaning towards the ZZP Stage 4!!

Get ky stage 3 it's half the price and holds pretty much as much torque. And it's very nice, once it's broken in it feels like stock, grabs like a mother

I'm not trying to sell you. Everyone is going to tell you KY and I would never tell you not to. I just happen to be one with a Clutchmasters and I'm happy with mine.

Had no issues with my Clutchmasters 6 puck stage 4 other than the input shaft seal on the trans going and the clutch getting coated in oil. Would have had no issues with the ZZP Stage 4 but my luck wouldn't allow it...

The price is a lot less, the quality is equal or better than others, you cannot go wrong.

KY works perfect, and is so much better price.

Every clutch has their quirks. People have had issues with Clutchmasters 6 puck discs blowing up. Some people have had issues with the KY pressure plates. And like my issue, some have had issues with the ZZP pressure plate. Nothing is perfect and every once in a while a bad bug will jump out in every brand. They are all great clutches. It just depends on how much torque you're putting down, whether you care about a noisy clutch or not, and how much you want to spend. The 6 pucks will be much noisier and won't quite handle the torque like a full face ceramic but they are also much cheaper to buy and will handle 450ft-lbs of torque no prob.

They are all puck designs. It is the backer that is different.. If you look closely they all have 6-8 pads on the disc (per side). Some disc maybe a full circle as the backer, but the wear surface on all (stage 3 or higher) are pads... (SPEC, Cluth Masters, ZZP, KY, etc.) Just saying...

Also KY many months ago, well before we started selling them did have pressure place issues, it was a "Sach" brand pressure plate. Since then they upgraded to a higher quality pressure plate, yet still maintain the awesome low price.

Yeah Rissa ordered a KY kit from us a few weeks back. She seems to really enjoy it.

Expensive and they have had blown up discs happen. Other than that, sure they are good.
