are we talking about fibers and steels or basket, hub and pressure plate?

I am talking about basket, hub and pressure plate. Hinson is stronger than stock and has less of a chance of grooving out like the stock ones.

If you are talking about steels and fiber plates the stock are better.

in the 20 or more clutch changes ive done on quads i have never seen a basket hub or pressure plate have problems... the pushrod yes. but i doubt they make aftermarket pushrods. remember guys stock is built to last..

Just because you have never seen it doesn't mean that it isn't true.

The Tabs of the clutch fibers plates are made of steel, so are the "teeth" of the steel plates.

Those steel pieces rubbing and moving on the softer aluminum of the hub and basket WILL cause grooving to form in the hub and the basket. The other thing that could happen is breaking off of one of the tabs on the basket. Though I have never done it I have seen it happen and that is not good.

The HINSON parts are made of aluminum, the difference is they are also heat treated, anodized and designed to withstand the extreme duty use.

To each there own. Also for the difference it makes no sense to me not to put in parts that are stronger than stock.
