A quick search would have told you that ACT and SPEC are highly favored here.

Fortunately for you, I'm a kindly old soul.

Anyway, I've heard nothing bad about the ACT clutch kits and a few bad things about the Spec stuff. May be just Internet anecdotal evidence, but if it were me I'd lean towards an ACT clutch.

You need to post some info re: how you're going to use your car (track only, street, a little of both) and how much power you're going to be putting down at the wheels.

Some people are happy with something like the ACT Street disk, while others daily drive 4 and 6 puck clutches.

well... i just want a good enough clutch to hold until i get a ca18. My clutch is slipping so bad, i have to rev up to 4000rpms before my car starts to move on first gear...

i just want something somewhat cheap but good and something that won't break so fast while i practice drifting ^^;;

Do NOT get Spec. They are terrible. Mine was gone in 8 months with only 10k miles. They are also known to destroy transmissions, which in my case it DID.

I had to replace the internals. While I was at it, I put in a Blitz Single Active clutch w/ fly.

so far so good.

Btw nice car ^^

If you are just biding time till your CA, go with a stock replacement and save yourself a nice chunk of cash. They work fine for mildly modified engines.

well... the CA isn't coming in, for sure, for another 6-8 months even more probably, so i want something that will be good for the time being don't get me wrong i don't mind a stock replacement, but since centerforce is about $50 and i heard it is good also, might as well look around and see if anything around there is competitively priced and maybe get a good deal.
