This forum hehe. But seriously. Just from what everybody on here says and doing my research. Yes the 1800 was for a dd but still. For nearly 1/5 the price, the valair is a good option.

I don't recommend a caramic/kevlar to someone wanting to hot rod there truck. Kevlar is very unforgiving if you slip it.

this is true this is true. But still the single disk kevlar/ceramic is good to like 450-500hp and 8-900lbs of torque.
