Default Who's running an XTREME twin plate clutch?

Seen these are getting decent reviews in the Australian market on some big builds, as they are a decent price for a twin plate just wondering if any of you are using one and what are they like?
Thanks

They are very good clutches and your right about them being superb value,I was going to get one for my build but was offered a brand new Exedy twin plate for very good money and decided to go with that instead,I drove my friends evo with one and in all honesty it was much easier"Lighter pedal feel" to deal with then the Exedy twin plate,my friend has had it fitted for about two years now on his car so they must be pretty reliable too.SJ.

Ah yes, I thought you might of been Clive but couldn't remember who it was lol.
Well obviously it can take some abuse, that's confirmed lol. But you wouldn't know how harsh it is on daily driving type? With you box I don't think you'd know lol.

Ah cool, I know a twin plate would be up for any abuse but wanted views on Normal driving feel, and if it's lighter than the excedy then it seems a win win,

Deffo my next choice I think, for price it seems excellent

It's taken 2 bar launch! And 3 bar in 2nd but I didn't complete run due to boost cut. To give you an idea that'd be circa 850 bhp. I have driven it on the dyno and feel is fine up and down gears.

I know there's a organic, ceramic or carbon blade option And couple of hundred quid difference.
But what's the listing below?

I don't get this listing here http://www.jdmgarageuk.com/xtreme-cl...preza-wrx.html
Is there a mistake somewhere here? Says twin but the listing don't add upto a twin specs?
