Center Force Duel Friction Clutch

[95sleeper2b]

Just wondering why everyone is so determined to run this clutch in a contour?cuz according to centerforce it is ment for high horsepower cars
Now regardless of what some people think running 200-250 hp isn't really high horsepower

this is right the centerforce web site

I don't know what you've been reading, b ut hte majority of the contour community runs/suggest SPEC.

i've just been talking to people on the internet and they all seem to be very insistant on this clutch...so i just wanted to ask the people here because they seem to be morte knowledgable

The second friction material in the "dual" friction is plastic.

It uses a stock or maybe SVT PP. It does not use their "patented" dual finger PP like on RWD kits.

SPEC is the ONLY manufacturer to use a PP better then the SVT unit. They also don't have plastic in the clutch lining either.


Also for the record I used a CF DF clutch once, on my ex-Conquest TSi, and it blew up in a couple thousand miles. It sucked badly!!! (This is a common story btw)

whats the price on the SPEC?

 

[SpookSVT]

Depends on which stage you want. CTAMotorsports has them for a very good price. I just ordered my stage 3 today, although not from them.

IIRC someone said hypilauto (spelling?) had a killer deal and the SPEC kits and flywheels.
