I already seen the ATS twin disk clutch is able to handle plenty of whp and street and track abuse. How much power do you plan on putting down op?

750 plus

As for the OSG appearing nicer quality than the ATS... Its been some years since I looked at my ATS and never held them side by side. But that clutch lasted me over 5 years before it started slipping, so I wouldnt worry too much about how pretty it looks inside the bell housing.

Im surprised to see people in this thread that are happy with the way the OSG drives. I guess to each their own. Everyone that drove my car hated it, and only a few of them were even really successful at it. Perhaps there is a different model than mine and my friends that drives nicer.

There are sprung and unsprung centres which is usually the difference.

I have a solid centre twin plate in my car and it is like an on/off switch.

I don't have a problem but some in the family who drive it do.

Lol! Yes it does rattle a little bit at idle in neutral but nothing much really.

^^ Perhaps it's the lightened flywheel you gentlemen hear.

At idle in neutral that's what the cause of noise is. But when you have the pedal down to release the clutch they also make a lot noise as the multiple components rattle together.

I have the OS Giken Twin Plate with Hard Cover installed with the Z1 CSC Elimination Kit.

Pedal is noticeably firmer than OEM. The shift feel is definitely leaning more towards on/off to the point where I dread heavy traffic going uphill (especially in the rain).

I can slip the clutch in 1st gear on purpose to "try" to get a smoother takeoff but it does require a degree of concentration.

Once you get going though, you can rapidly shift gears and the clutch just bites unlike the OEM which slips like a donkey on ice.

The chatter sound at idle and low RPMs is significantly louder than stock. It almost sounds like a truck. Non-car enthusiasts would think something is broken. Lucky for me, I have a loud titanium exhaust to complement the clutch. :)

Anybody used an ATS Twin Carbon disk clutch or a triple?


Phunk, any feedback would be great since the ATS you have used before. Was it a carbon disk? I am seriously considering this since
the slave get's moved outside the bell housing. The triple is freaking expensive. +4K.

Yes my Carbonetics clutch was a twin carbon, which should be very similar to the current ATS offering I believe.

I think I am going to change up and get this one and sell my current new Specialty Z 6 puck setup.

MA can get me one. They have already ordered a list of parts from you. You just didn't know they were mine.

You can buy me one. You just have to sell an extra dog to buy me one. Just don't tell your wife that there is a missing dog.
