Default Pressure plate still able to reuse with new disc?

so i finished the turbo on sedan and my money is kinda tight right now.

i removed the clutch from my sedan to replace with a comp clutch stage 4. so what i got now is an ACT pressure plate and a nearly dead disc.

im unsure of what the specs of this clutch kit is. i bought it with the car drove/raced it for 3 years + what ever miles previous owner put on it. it still grabs about midway but almost at the top.

my other sedan has a clutch that im pretty sure is about to give out on me while driving. it grabs at the very top of my pedal and if i punch the pedal, it would just rev like its not grabbing.

so since moneys tight i asking ppl on here to tell me the condition of my pressure plate and if it is reusable with a new disc. also whats the spec of this clutch (stage 1/2 etc)

there are no warp-age on the face of the pressure plate.

also if you can provide a site where i can order disc from if its possible to resuse this pp. thanks.

(i 2 sedans. 1 n/a 1 turbo. to not confuse you guys)

EDIT: I FORGOT THE PIX LOLOL

it will probably work fine with a new disc and release bearing....it looks worse than it is really...

the dust/dirt and paint flaking off the plate makes it look crappy....but as long as there is not excessive wear on the spring "fingers" where the release bearing rides on and there are not cracks and hot spots on the plate surface it will be fine.

if your on a budget it will work fine.

it would be fine,ive reused them several times,as long as the pedal was firm before,and as non-vtec said the fingers arent worn bad and the friction surface is good. i would maybe take some sandpaper and smooth the surface up,for the new disc to seat.make sure not to get grease on either surface,i usually wear gloves and wash my hands a couple times.

heres the cheapest i could find them after a little searching.
