So I had a Daily 2 on my 1g, installed a little over a year ago, now slipping in 2nd, 3rd, 4th with any amount of "fun" driving. I know how to drive standard, and this boggles my mind. Maybe I have a bad one?
Want to know what the people with the higher end Southbend have to say about them in terms of power capability and longevity as well as daily traffic experience. Had a ACT 2600 in the 1g before when I bought it. Hated it, way too hard for daily unless you want to beef up your left leg for later alien consumption (I'm sure they'll appreciate the muscle mass lol). May put the one in my 1g under hard treatment to test before I put one in my 2g.
Was thinking the endurance type, no need for drag as I will daily both cars. Just want something that can take traffic driving while still being able to hold power.
Will most likely buy ACT flywheel to go with it...even though I have a Fidanza here already.

What are your power levels at? From what I understand the daily is really only good for stockish power levels. Although my factory organic clutch handled all that stuff.

Yeah that's weird that my stock organic was able to handle more than your southbend setup.
So is it your first pull that you start having issues or is it after a few pulls that it starts slipping?

If I were you I would be more curious as to why your clutch isn't handling what it should and taking a peak to see how it looks in there.

I had that floating in my head, but I wouldn't have thought this could have been the culprit as it acted normal for a long time, taking the abuse. I just thought it'd last longer.

I was using the Southbend Stage 3 Drag. The name of it sounds more aggressive than it really is. IMO this is the clutch everyone should be using up to 650 WHP. OEM like pedal feel, light enough that chatter in non existent, ceramic 6 puck sprung. Held a few high 10 second passes in my car then completely slipped over 700 WHP. It doesn't even smell when it slips, it just completely lets go. Easier on the master, slave, and pedal assembly.
IMO less failures than the ACT design, but I am back on the ACT 2600 and 6 puck sprung now. So far its holding.
