I've been researching Exedy and this product guide sheet helped me out. I think I'll be going for the Exedy Compe-D twin plate... www.nengun.com and www.rhdjapan.com are good sources.

If you want to go cheaper, maybe you should look at ACT clutches.

Stay away from spec clutches, they don't last and don't hold power.
