clutch opinions

What clutch would be good for daily, but also hook up when I want it to. I have a stage 3 in my corolla, and a stage 1 in the 4runner. The corolla is really finneky, but is AWESOME for drifting. The 4runner is also good because I can put alot of power behind it, but still take off uphill with a 6klb trailer in 4x4.

Also something I noticed is on ebay-the non turbo stage 2 and 3 clutches cost more, in comparison to the turbo clutches.

Is there a difference between the turbo and N/A flywheels?

Also, what is it like using a stage 2? Is it in between the 3 and 1?
The clutch and plate I have now suuuuuuck, it slips horribly when launching, but I can kick it and make the tires spin, but the pressure plate seems to be loosing its springyness, and the clutch pedal is like a rubber band.
In reality, I would like a pressure plate from a stage 3 so it gives the pedal some real force, but use a stage 2 disk..... how would I go about doing that. Without buying 2 packages of course.

Also- I can hear a noise.... I think my throw out bearing is about to eat it. SO im going to have to act fast.

Yes, they are a different size and are not compatible.

The ebay stage 3 clutch is a stock or lighter pressure plate matched with a super aggressive disc. I have one in my car and I would not recomend it to anyone. A properly designed stage 2 clutch should have a slightly more aggressive disc with a hevier than stock pressure plate, thus making it easy to slip when needed pulling away from a stop light, but still having enough friction to grab hard on a launch.

Look into ACT. You will pay more but you will actually get a clutch that will make your car enjoyable to drive. Look at one of their sprung street disc's, and then you can choose either a heavy duty or super heavy duty pressure plate to match.
