Anyone have experience with the Vertex clutch? or any other good clutch deals?
Im shopping for a clutch and found the vertex clutch is 10% off of ~$589 for the aftermarket kit (the sachs kit is ~650). What caught my attention was the afterrmarket clutch description below:
"Most Porsche Automobiles were equipped, from factory, with a Sachs Rubber Center Clutch Disc. Over time the rubber in these discs would become dry and brittle and ultimately fail. We at Vertex Automotive have come up with a solution. Fabricated to our own specifications, we have developed a superior alternative to the, failure prone, rubber center disc. Utilizing a steel inner plate for strength and longevity we implement the use of six dual springs for a robust yet supple recoil. We then went a step further and, with the help from Ferodo (the industry leader in friction material), developed a friction compound "Dynamex" that would far surpass industry standards. Furthermore, our "Power Friction" Disc's have an astounding 29% more useable friction material. What does all of this mean? A Dramatic increase in clutch life without compromising comfort, pedal feel or performance. " 208523 SKU
Hmm, sounds interesting. Does anyone have experience with this clutch friction material?
Also, do you know of good clutch deals elsewhere?
