    they are probably the same except you'll pay more for the HKS name.

    They are both good clutches. We have only seen one problem with the HKS and it was a friend of mines car who purchase the clutch used and the pins in the pressure plate started backing out causing it to start to come apart. Other than that the HKS' we have seen held 4-500 hp just fine. I would however go with the tried and true exedy twin. Shoot me a PM if you need to pick one up at a good price.
    the SD twin is a almost stock feeling pedal and will hold around 450 ftlbs well. the HD twin is a heavier pressure plate with a stiffer clutch and is rated slightly higher clamp load than the SD. You cant go wrong with either one

    You should also take into account the price if you have to rebuild either one. Im thinking but not sure that the HKS replacement disks might be a little more because of the name. I had a twin disk previously with no problems.

    The HKS plates are about half the cost of what the Exedy/ Cusco discs run.
