They both are really good brands to get for clutches depending on how strong of a clutch you need. Exedy ranges from OEM replacements to racing clutches. But i believe ACT does not have a OEM replacement. So if you looking for a clutch lil betta than OEM, exedy has it. But if you into stage 1 and up clutches, either should be perfect. I believe though that ACT clutches have a stiffer pedal feel (more clamp torque maybe?) Check the clutche's spec online. Oh, and the lightweight flywheel weights are different. Exedy has ~9lb flywheels and ACT has ~13lb. ACT flywheel should be better at not throwing a cell than a exedy 9lb flywheel. But 9lb flywheel changes your car's acceleration like crazy @_@!

Since a lot of non OE clutch kits use Exedy components that are "frankensteined" together, why not spend the extra money and get a higher quality kit from Exedy?
