Haven't tried the OS Giken. But just for informational purposes since I know you already decided on OS Giken, the Carbonetics and Exedy carbon clutches are very different in their drivability depending on your build purpose.

Carbonetics is more of a race clutch. On/Off operation but the plus side is that it does not need to be warmed up to grab, especially around the 500-600rwtq levels. The flywheel is very loud under 2k rpms though. And I mean "dump truck" loud.

Exedy is a company that makes a lot of OEM clutches, so they really focus on drivability. It has more play and a longer engagement point, making traffic light take offs a lot easier. However to grab anything higher than 500rwtq, especially in the higher gears where there is a lot of load, you need to burn the clutch a bit to warm it up.

Hope this helps.
