Default Zoom Clutch

I found a Zoom Clutch Kit, it is a Dual Kevlar sided clutch, and comes with jst about everything. Anyone heard anything good/bad about these-

I'm assuming the kevlar setup would be their high end. I know a buddy of mine bought a Ram and had it tore up in no time but then again he is hard on stuff. I had a Centerforce Dual Friction and I tore it up. I'm not hard on stuff, but I think I got some oil on the clutch surface and ruined the gripping power. Anyway, moral of the story, you can tear anything up. If the price is comparable to similar setups, then may be worth a shot. With your setup, I would say it would be fine.

I am looking into converting into a standard, so I am piecing stuff together.

I went from M6 to A4 but if you don't take it to the track much the M6 is funner. I couldn't get any luck out of it at the track. The last run my car ever saw as an M6, it went out and that's what made me go auto.

Just some more info on Zoom's product for LSs

Mike Peters is a professional drifter and his weapon of choice may appear to be a Nissan 240, but it packs a LS Magnacharged power plant that we thought would be a great test bed for a Zoom D2 twin disc clutch set up.

Now for those that have not had seat time in a drift car you should know that 'clutch kicking' is one of three techniques of initiating a drift. You'll see Mike doing so... at over 6000RPM in this video link!

PS. He installed this Twin Disc over a year ago and is still running it today!

Enjoy!
