ive been reading in the forums and some people have said that the xtd pressure plate is just a stock tiburon one that is painted. has anyone installed one and thought different? does it really matter? can i purchase an act pp and match it up or am i better off with an act? i need one soon and i dont have that much money so any advice would be great

Im currently having an XTD Stage 2 Clutch Kit installed.... Ill let you know how it works out when I get it back.... The PP does look stock so I called the company to see if it was just a painted stock one. They say it is a stock Valeo PP, the only difference is the inner ring is supposed to be upgraded for more strength/pressure....
Well, that's all I know for now, hope it helps...

Valeo is VHR, who also makes the stock clutch setups.
One way to find out, see if you can find XTD anywhere else than ebay, or on a store that doesn't sell on ebay.

i got xtd clutch 3rd stage and after setup you'll notice you clutch pedal will be a lil bit harder to push then on stock one that's my 2nd time using this clutch and had no problem with it about pp umm actually they r a lil bit different cause first time i was changing my stock one to xtd i placed stock pp and xtd pp together to see what's difference actually those metal stripes on pp is upgraded to handle more power just finished 2nd setup today smile.gif awesome smile.gif but you have to change your flywheel too if you are planning to put ceramic clutch disk cause it's gonna eat it smile.gif like mine had a lil less metal on flywheel where the cd spins smile.gif so i' would recommend you to get full xtd kit with flywheel and you ready to go

i believe its the stock pp spray painted red. the paint is horrible to say the least. there is over spray on all the parts that shouldn't be red. other than that it works great.

according to what i have gathered the clutch is upgraded and the pressure plate looks stock but supposdily has a stronger ring in the middle. im thinking im gunna go with a trusted brand name like act and forget this cheap part, i think ill appreciate it when my clutch is in and functioning
