its better to invest a bit more ( say $ 50 - 100 ) and not have to worrie for another long time.

ACT and exedy are very goodones.

if you post some mods and your aprox. torque it will be easier to give you recomendations.

i just put a racingbeat street/strip clutch and plate into my 89 TII and it seems to be just fine. it's actually cheaper than the OEM

I had a friend suggest a centerforce to me... But another told me he heard bad things about them. I looked through the forum and found 2 or 3 bad stories about them and figured I'd not try it.... Pretty glad I didn't go for one. I found a site that was having a sale on ACT clutches... Also was having a sitewide sale.... And there was some other type of ACT sale going on.... I basically got the ACT strett/strip clutch for a little over $100 off. Can't remember the site now though, sorry


Edit:

I looked through some old email, I believe it was www.prostreetonline.com I saw that I made an order with them but it didn't state what I ordered. I went to the site and they have them 10% off right now.... Probably always do, heh. But they might be the place I got it from, not sure.

well, I have also heard bad things about the centerforce clutch, and the ebay ones semm sketchy at best......
ACT are supposed to be great, but as said before will cost you a bit more money....

I wanted a better clutch, but am a cheap bastard, so I put a stock one back in, Unbelievable $175 from the DEALER!!!! all the bearings, alignment tool, etc.....

But again, I have an old N/a, so the power isn't really requiring any tougher clutch....
I'd go ACT ..

just so you know act clutches are made by exeddy so unless you want the nice yello paint go with exeddy
i beleve an exeddy stage 1 is equivilent to an act stage 2
