Centerforce Dual Friction Clutch/Pressure Plate: Feedback?

Hello, Everyone. I'm in the process of purchasing a new clutch (the 16 year old clutch is finally giving out). I'm curently looking at the Exedy Twin Plate and the Centerforce Dual Friction. I'm leaning towards the Centerrforce due to pricing and availability. I know these clutches get around; does anyone have any feedback for either brand?

Thanks for the help.

FYI - I'm running a '93 VR (no sunroof), almost completely stock (Apexi N1 Pro coilovers) on Yokohama S-Drives 16/8/225.

Get an ACT street/strip unit, you won't be disappointed.

I've never been a fan of the CF clutches for the FD.

I have a center force in a Rx8 it felt good for the first week or 2 then it started to suck!

I have a ACT in my last FD and its way better then the CF.

Spec has to be the worst clutch ive EVER owned. i put a brand new stage 3 in when i went single turbo, it lasted maybe 4 months and not to mention the pedal felt like a 300k honda when it was new! exedy act ftw all day long.
