Quote: All OS Giken clutches include a corresponding performance flywheel to ensure maximum performance and unlock your vehicle’s potential.
This means that Supra's flywheel has also been changed from OEM to a Giken.

Thoughts?

The OS Gikken clutch isn't bad, but it doesn't stand up to HARD driving that well. I have a friend that had the twin disc version in his Supra, and he had to get the springs in the sprung-hub sections replaced several times. Again, it's an okay clutch, but not anywhere near a top-of-the-line clutch for the Mkiv Supra Turbo 6spd like this one:

By the way, do you even know if it's a twin, triple or quad-disc Gikken? Here is the list of possible OS Gikken part numbers for the Mkiv Turbo:

• TS2CD
• TR2CD
• TS3B
• TS3BW
• R3C
• R4C

Regarding the Endless pads, which compound are they? We still don't have enough information about them. Here are the choices for Endless compounds:

• LF1
• LF2
• LF3
• MX72
• CC-R
• SSM
• SSY
• NS97
• ME20
• N03W
• N35S
• N40S
• N45S
• S89F
• S90F
• S91F
• S93F
• MA45B
• ES88G

Some of these pads might be absolutely horrible, like the EBC pads that warmkop used. At least find out specifically which pad it is, and then after that we can discuss how well they fit your application.
