first off what are your mod's, engine, or plans for down the road?

im using a exedy stage 2 in a 2000 si at about 400whp and i cant launch off the 2-step b/c it starts slipping so im stepping up to a stage 3 or twin plate or maybe a exedy carbon

Always wondered when you say is slipping wat do you mean? Can you feel it and wat does it feel like. I think mine might be doing it too idk.

You can hear and feel the clutch slipping. It's a kind of a rattling noise from the transmission on acceleration. You can also see your RPM climb while your car isn't going any faster.

the thickness doesn't play as great as a role as the material you are purchasing, different clutch materials have different clamping power, therefore have different driving characteristics, which is why they're labeled with different horsepower ratings and stages.

and fyi, DO NOT install clutches that have a higher horsepower rating than your car does. it will give you a driving characteristic that's not what you desire.
