Default RPS Clutch owners please

I am looking for a RPS clutch kit for my car and was having a hard time finding more than 1 or 2 vendors that carry them. If you could tell me where you got yours at that would be very helpful? thanks for any help.

I reinstalled my RPS single disc clutch after experiencing problems with the Textralia dual disc exoskel clutch system. I purchased my RPS from Tom at Carolina Clutch & Performance approx. 2 years ago.

Nobody knows Rob at RPS better than LAPD. Give Keith a call and he'll definitely take care of you.

I've read good reviews about the new RPS Dual Disc Clutch - waiting to hear back from actual users on the forum. LAPD - another great source for this clutch. Keith - any details you can share about their dual disc clutch, e.g, smoothness, ease of engagement, chatter, etc?

I'm very happy with the operation of my RAM DD but I'm getting really tired of the rattle and would love to find a nice smooth trouble free clutch.

Michael, I have driven Keith's cat twice since he installed the dual disc. The pedal is firmer than stock. It is very smooth and engages absolutely flawlessly!

The first time it took a couple of attempts to start smoothly, but the second time I drove the car it was as normal as my stocker. I believe the "learning curve" to be due to the lighter flywheel/clutch assembly!

Give Keith a call, he loves to talk about the clutch!
