I would use a stock clutch then.... now if u were drag racing or auto X then maybe bump up to a stage one clutch of sorts!

well I dont have alot of experience with rotarys yet however IMO centerforce is a good domestic clutch they just get destroyed in nissans, and mitsubishis.. not sure on a rotary but I would go with a stage one act or something like that over a centeforce any day

If you're stock, keep it stock....especially on an N/A

IF you feel like buying a centerforce to say you have an upgraded clutch...go for it...but its really not going to improve anything. THe stock N/A clutch works perfectly well, no slipping, excellent driveability..until its worn out.

I run ACT, but what clutch you use depends on your HP and your driveability needs

currently using a clutch masters stage 0 clutch. pretty much a stock clutch. feels like a stock clutch. works fine.
i am going to be probably going to an ACT street/strip kit with HD PP, just for the slightly heavier pedal feel. i do track the car a little bit, so that is the main reason.

just so everyone knows SPEC clutches are KNOWN to EXPLODE on hard shifts on the Mitsubishi Starion/Conquest models.. I personally went through 2 that exploded and one took out my fidanza flywheel and went through the tranny housing. if it was'nt for my trans wrap I would have prolly cought it in the sac!
