Default RPS Street Twin Lite Installed

I just had my stock clutch replaced with a RPS Street Twin Lite (twin disc) and I can't believe how much the pedal pressure feels simular to the stock clutch, with slight more pressure. Zero chatter, smooth, doesn't have an "on/off" grab feel to. Upgrading to a twin disc had me worried using it as a daily driver in heavy traffic, but no problem!

We discussed it a bit on the Forced Induction section, I was looking for feedback on twin disc's. Thanks for all the replys, it was a great learning experiance, but just wanted to pass along the results here in the Tech Section for those also considering a twin disc clutch upgrade.

I wanted thank the crew at LMR here in Houston for the great service.

Here's the before and after pic's.

My stock clutch held up to my s/c for awhile, but finally gave out...... R.I.P.


And the new RPS Street Twin Lite (only ~34 lbs. w/ flywheel!)

Sounds like you eliminated ALL the stock clutch short comings! NICE! Thanks for the report!

Glad to hear you are happy with it. The clutch seems to be one of those parts that you get 50 different reponses from 50 people.
