clutch kit
Was up! I'm new to this site and I was wondering if you guys can help me out. I got a 00 ek that I'm ready to build and I'm thinking on doing an ls swap. For now is just going to be mildly modified, the usual, air intake, lowered, headers and exhaust and maybe cam gears, I have some laying around. My ? is, what stage of performance clutch should I get for my swap is going to be daily driven? Help would be appreciated, thanks!!

I also agree with the above poster. I've had great experiences with ACT. They support pretty much any power level you can throw at it.
What do you mean by a "rough pedal feel?" Do you mean it's hard to depress the clutch? That has to do with the pressure plate. The more aggressive it is, and the more torque it can hold, the harder it will be to engage/depress.
What type of pressure plate does your brother's Del Sol have? I've used the ACT Heavy Duty one and it's only slightly harder than stock. It also is able to hold quite a bit of power. I was using it upwards of 400whp (with a 4 puck disc).
The Extreme pressure plate is harder to press, and ACT also has another one that's even more aggressive.
ACT quality =
ACT price =

Re: clutch kit (shamoo)

No problem. I highly recommend ACT. Take a look at their site to see what's available. Then browse the sponsors here, as they will give you a good deal. Many times, HT members will get an additional discount.
FYI: You don't want to categorize clutches in "stages." Don't say, "I want to get a Stage 3 clutch." Every manufacturer uses different ways of categorizing their clutches. A Stage 2 from one manufacturer might be equal in performance ability to a Stage 4 from another. You want to specify exactly which pressure plate and which clutch disc you are talking about.
Example: DON'T say, "I want to get a Stage 2 ACT clutch." DO say, "I want to get an ACT Heavy Duty pressure plate and a 6 puck clutch disc."
