Best place to buy an ACT clutch kit for an FC3S?
I'm looking for the best place to buy to by a clutch kit. Carolina Clutch and Performance (carolinaclutch.com) has the ACT 6 puck sprung disk kit for $374.24 shipped. Any one heard of a better deal?

personally, I'd stay away from ACT because their quality has plummeted over the last few years. Seems everyone I talk to has had problems with them, myself included. Exedy is a much better option IMO.

I got my ACT from RX7Store.net many years ago, great service. Looks like it's $357 there, before shipping. Sucks to hear that the quality of the ACT's has gone down the toilet.

I've been running a ACT disc for years with an OEM pressure plate, but I would go Exedy, or ACT.
