There are pressure plates out there that cove the springs... Title: Re: Any experience with these pressure plates?

Yes--but from personal experience, The level of protection from a pressure plate is overated and more of a marketing point. They don't do as good a job as a billet clutch cover--and they are a bit heavier. Since it is a rotating part, I'd rather add the weight of a billet cover rather than the pressure plate for protection. -M Title: Re: Any experience with these pressure plates?

YES, I bought this pressure plate and it has been installed on my S2R1K. It is NOT a clone of the pressed aluminum stocker by any means. It is not as aggressively styled as some others but I like it. I found no flaws in the workmanship and the fit was perfect. I paired it with the TPO racing spring set and was very satisfied with the results.

Thanks everyone! Title: Re: Any experience with these pressure plates?
