The Exedy bites better than the OEM and holds up perfectly fine with a JB4. It's supposedly rated to hold up to 350rwkw which I don't see myself exceeding any time soon!

Let me know if you have any questions, I'll be happy to help where I can
Thanks for the reply!

I'd be very interested to know where you got your dual mass flywheel machined! Was it local here in Melb and how much did it cost?

I saw the excedy on eBay and looks like a good price. Would be good to know if the clutch pedal is heavier or if the clutch is grabby/hard to modulate. I am definitely looking for an OEM feeling clutch
