Does anyone know how much it costs to have ACT "refurbish" the PP. My buddy has one he pulled out of his car at 50K and I happen to need one for a S/C application. I would of course get a fresh OEM disc and bearings to go with it.

For reference on my driving style I'm on my original clutch at 132K and it has no signs of slippage or anything going wrong. Just want a stronger PP just in case when I put the blower on it, wondering if it's ok to just throw that one back in provided there are no hot spots/broken fingers etc.

I have 100k, my ACT PP has been in and driven hard for 90k (put in at 10k miles) still operates like new, no high pedal yet.

All up to the driver, plain and simple.

It CAN surely go the distance.

Awesome, how can you tell if the PP is bad? I fear I may have unnecessarily replaced my PP when I changed the disk (which was SHOT).

Clutch will start to slip even if the clutch disc is new since the pressure plate fails to clamp with enough force. You will also feel decreased stiffness on the clutch pedal and when it gets worse, you will have trouble switching gears w/o grinding.

If you installed the clutch disc new along with the pressure plate, you probably did good by also replacing it. From my experience, the pressure plate should last 1.5 times more than the clutch disc. In other words, the pressure plate should start to trip when you reach 50% of the 2nd clutch discs' life (Being the you did not replace the pressure plate when you installed the 2nd clutch disc).

Sounds like that 50K pressure plate would be ok to throw in if it's in good overall shape then. If I can get 130K on a stock clutch with tons of autocross runs then I can probably get 200+ out of a ACT setup with a fresh disc.
