LuK Pro gold series, it grabs like a vice and has excellent longevity.I put one in my N/A and it was the best decision I could have possibly made, it doesnt matter at what RPMs you let out the clutch it wont slip I havent smelled clutch burn yet and ive dropped it out at 5k RPM several times and when you shift into second it will burn the tires 10 times out of 10, its sick you will love it.

I'm thinking about changing mine in a year or so. Although you said to keep it stock, I was wanting to free up some weight, so looking for a light flywheel + clutch combo, what would you suggest? JWT offers a combo for about $600.

There are so many others, but I don't know anything about them.

I have a Stage 2 (daily driver) clutch with stock flywheel. Grabs on very nice, and easy to drive with. Tires spins 2nd very easily. If you get a light flywheel you wont have as much torque and you'll only see very little HP gain at higher RPMS.

ACT, COmpetition clutches, and southbend clutches, I've had good luck with all 3, competition clutches is a site sponsor and was offering a discount recently, might be worth a phone call to see if you can still get the hookup

Don't buy anything from eCLUTCHMASTER, their products are not very good quality and if you have a problem with anything or need a refund it'll take 6 months. I've had and heard of nothing but bad about these guys.

I agree on the flywheel not worth buying but i feel with my Stage II clutch grabs on faster and tighter vs. my OEM and i can Spin 2nd and chirp 3rd vs. OEM chirp 2nd and nothing on third.

Bringing this post back from the dead! So I was actually looking into getting a LuckPro clutch. Is it a direct bolt on? Looking for a more in depth review.
