I know there are 100 threads about clutches, but I don't see much about DKM clutches on here, and when I do, it's always the twin-disk variant.
How are the DKM stage 2 single-disc clutches holding up?
I have a JB4 with downpipe and my clutch just started slipping. I will probably never go IS38, but there's always a chance and I don't want to kick myself down the line on clutch choice if that's the case. Problem is southbend stg 2 daily is only rated for 400 lb/ft, the next step up to stg 2 endurance is a segmented disk that I think is really meant more for autox, and then the next step up to stg 3 daily is overkill on price and torque rating for me.
The biggest thing attracting me to the DKM is not only the price, but the fact that it's the only stage 2 category kit that is rated at 440 lb/ft of torque while still having a regular non-segmented disk.
I never race my car and only enjoy daily driving and spirited driving. If I knew 100% for a fact I would never go IS38, I would just get the southbend stg 2 daily, but alas, the modding bug never ceases to amaze me and I'm not going to pretend it isn't a possibility.
