Whats the best one i can get for around $200.00?

I bought this one by mistake. I needed the 215mm not the 225mm. I'll give it to you for 180 shipped. It is new and I pulled it out of the box less than 2 weeks ago. I put it against my flywheel, and found out that it is 10 mm too big.

Well, in a thread I started a little while ago that was basically the same as this, someone said that their Centerforce clutch only lasted about 6 months. So that probably wouldn't give very good odds for a company that I'm guessing nobody's heard of.

I think it may also depend on how you use it. For instance a clutch that my wife may baby is not going to last near a long as if I have a lightwieght flywheel and I am always either slipping the clutch or slamming it in there to take off.

Same going with downshifting. I downshift to slow down. My wife puts it in nutral and uses the brakes. I am going to go through the clutch twice as quick just by doing that.


That and a puck will never last as long as oem. You go with a preformance knowing that it will preform better but not last as long. Just makes sense.
