well do you or are you planning on modifying the motor at all. theres tons of brands out there and everyone is gonna like something different. do you want stock setup or aftermarket.

if for on bought a ACT HD Pressure Plate w/ street organic disk, and a 7.5lb Fidanza fly for my teg. but i did this with the future in mind. i plan on doing quite a bit of work. just think about what u would like out of it and let me know. im sure we can give u some ideas then

u have a million questions ask yur self man. first are u planning on swapping it, boosting it, swapping and then boosting it. do u wanna race it (drag or auto cross), or do u wanna just have a street car. u gotta think of what u want in the future to pick a clutch.

ACT HDSS. Heavy duty pressure plate, organic street disc. Firm pedal, but not overly stiff, and grabs nicely.

Bit pricy but if they're doing the labor than great.

$520 is a good price for a quality part, if it's with the pressure plate and new bearings. I would have a new flywheel thrown on also while everything is apart.
