Get an ACT Heavy duty pressure plate with the hybrid-lined street disc.

Why not just get an Exedy OEM style clutch. Unless you're pushin some high PSI you're not going to need any more clamping force.

Why hasn't anyone just asked what he'll be using his car for? If its a daily driver and non-track use he wouldn't need to spend the money to get something that doesn't fit his needs

All I can say is that I installed a Centerforce clutch in my Si when I put on the supercharger, and it only lasted me about 10,000 miles. Driven hard, but not abused by any means. I would never buy a Centerforce again. Exedy or ACT.

ACT or Exedy, Centerforce is ****.

You're driving a stock street car, the ACT Stage 1 or Exedy Stage 1 clutch will be fine for any needs you may aquire for that engine's possible capabilities, plus make shifts real real nice .
