The RPS max street is a terrible clutch IMO. Pish design, it's basically just a standard disc with the heaviest pressure plate possible, I had one in my old Pulsar.neil240z said:

well it seems to be favoured more than disliked, and we all know paddle clutches eat GTiR boxes so it seems like the logical choice for big power and chances are with that monster pressure plate you can just take the worn organic clutch plate out pop a new one in and get another 2 years from your clutch for £50gunmetalgtir said:
i think someone on here did that.
contrary to popular belief it's not just the paddle clutch that kills the box, the magic killer ingredient is the launch.neil240z said:
I ran a 4 puck paddle for 3 years without any problems. In the past my gearboxes have ALWAYS stripped the teeeth from the cogs (3rd & 5th) whilst moving and it makes no difference how aggressive your clutch is when your already moving

And that's the reason why I stupidly bought one!neil240z said:
Out of interest have you ever had one?
Believe me mate I've had one and they are pish, if your planning on using your car for anything other than normal road driving forget it. (And even at that their a nightmare for normal road driving due to being so heavy. Their actually harder to push the peddle down than a Nismo clutch and an OS giken clutch.)
But what's the point in uprating a clutch for normal use?
If it doesn't break the clutch fork due to being so bloody heavy and such badly designed then it'll break something else due to the strain being transferred elsewhere!

not had one before, i have roughly 10 mins ago drove my car into my friends garage and the pedal is quite firm.
I still have to say i would still go for this clutch over a paddle on a 400hp plus car, reason being i like drag racing and i would need to launch my car to get a good time though you will still end up stripping a gear sooner or later.
paddle clutches are also a fair bit harsher on take up compared to organic.
each to there own i guess, but for your average 300hp pulsar boy racer doing traffic light launches against there rival scoobies then i think the max street is more suitable which is why i bought it, i can live with a firm clutch pedal, its no worse than my mates exedy twin plate.

cheers for that link steve.
lads i got that clutch because it was suppied with an aftermarket lightened billet flywheel with only 500 milers use on them for £200 pound posted
so made sense while the box was out.
i boxed and strengthen the clutch fork while the box was out too.
