I installed a ACT PP/ HPF bronze disc in a 91 I built and it is a very streetable combination. The ACT plate is a nicer daily driver plate but will still hold some serious power. The car I'm speaking of is tuned for 450 rwhp/440 rwtq @ 16 psi. The ACT set up was about 100.00 cheaper than the RPS/HPF combo from HPF.

I am tending to shy away from RPS and HPF because on Supraforums I just read about serious problems like crankwalk and discs fusing for Mk3 owners.

I gaurantee that there is some serious stress on the thrust bearing with the RPS PP. This is why I discontinue the use of clutch switch for starting, so there is no dry start up on the thrust bearing with excessive pressure against it.
