Should I keep the Exedy Clutch, or get the ACT?

ACT actually includes ASCO disc in their TY2-HD00 setup (as you can see from photo).

Exedy is much higher quality and workmanship than ASCO disc. If you prefer ASCO disc, we are more than glad to exchange it for you.

Thanks

I've been under the impression that the exedy clutches wear out faster and the act is the better of the brands. I get the feeling he's feeding me some bull, but I figure I'd double check with you guys first.

Thanks,

As an update I spoke with the guys at ACT. They said as of about 8 months ago they were making their own clutches in house, however before that they were using ASCO plates with their materials. So that leads me to my next question. is it worthwhile to see out an official ACT Street clutch, or should I be satisfied with this Exedy. In some areas i've seen the exedy as the better clutch, but that's only in comparison to the ceramic act clutches. Anyone have an OEM on OEM comparison between the two brands. TYSD031 vs the TYD129U.
