i would imagine a possible big problem with people using these clutches is they try to drive them like a standard clutch.
Ie, the oem part is designed to be slipped and driven by all people with all driving styles.
its a
'user friendly' clutch.
therefore it is made of a material designed for longevity/durability.
Whereas performance clutches are made from other materials designed for maximum clamping force
/ grip, which could mean a
'softer' material which is prone to wear faster if treated like an Oem part.
However when on a track or drag racing
(where these clutches are intended to be used), you are not stopping at junctions and doing hill starts so the clutch is not being slipped like it would need to be on the road.
and thats when it will last longest.
I would imagine clutches are very much alike brake pads.
Look at the EBC pads.
.
Green
- Similar to everyday oem car pads, long lasting, moderate grip, dont require much
'heating up' to work.
hard compound.
Red
- Soft compound
, maximum grip, needs warming up to work, lasts 5 minutes if your constantly on the brakes like when driving round towns.
After all, on the track, you wont be on the brake right until the last possible moment, then you will be on them hard for a short period of time.
these are designed for this style of driving.
Thats my theory anyway.
But, i could be wrong
