Exedy clutch kits: Sports Organic vs Heavy Duty

[uetecu]

Does anyone have experience with these two clutch kits?

I use to run the sports organic but I didn't enjoy the shuddering at times and now I am tempted to try the heavy duty kit since I don't track as often as I should. I was told the heavy duty pedal feel is heavier than the organic, is it true? What are the pro's and con's apart from the price?

Some info I found on the website.
Sports organic (an accurate description)
The drivability will be similar to a regular clutch, however drivers may experience increased pedal effort, slight shudder and increased cabin noise due to the performance characteristics of the clutch. All of our clutch discs have high capacity sprung centre dampers to reduce the drivetrain shock and impact.

Heavy Duty
no info..

my previous car, DC2R, had a Exedy HD 5 puk ceramic in it, and ive also driven one with a Exedy Organic, and if you dont enjoy the shudder of the organic, then the HD is probably not the clutch for you.

It is quite hard to drive and took me a while to get used to, but once i did, it was ok, but still quite a difficult drive, especially in heavy traffic conditions, steep hills, etc...it grabbed very hard...

The Sports Organic is probably the closet you will get to feeling like a standard clutch, except with abit more bite.

hmmm, my organic doesnt shudder?

hmmm, actually - i dont remember whether i got the sports or heavy duty? it is very heavy pedal - it might be the HD???

doh!

sorry ian!!!

I have the Organic in my car. I can drive it smoothly, I love its feel and how it bites compared to stock. I get some clutch shudder in reverse mainly because it's dead cold when I am reversing usually, I think...

Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought the Heavy Duty clutch is the cheaper and less superior model to the Organic? I don't know if I need buttons or cushions either?

I've used both clutch kit before, HD is lot lighter in pedal feel but i really think HD is enough for most applications. And it's about $100 cheaper too

i am using the Cushioned Button Sports Clutch atm

I find its not that hard to use daily. then again.. i moved from a 6 puk Brass button to this. you cant complain about shudder till you have driven with a brass =p ^_^..

but IMO i really like the cushioned button Sports Clutch, its a worthy upgrade if you have any form of torque enhancing boltons..




ohh ps. i thought the Heavy Feal was from the Preasureplate?

the PP that came with this particular clutch was somewhat heavier in feel to the previous Brass button
