Clutch Suggestions.......spring break ruined

well i was supposed to go down to daytona for spring break today. i thought my roomate was gonna drive as we had discussed (300zx) but he assumed i was takin my max, but i dont know why cause in not inspected (taking care of that later in sb) and my clutch has been goin (it wont make 2500mi). anyways his father wont let him drive cause hes afraid of car trouble (y buy a nissan and constantly worry about car trouble?) anyways we have no way to meet our friends in daytona

Ok what kind of clutch do you guys recommend. it seems like act is a pain to drive and im only adding a ypipe, bpipe, and intake so i dont need really high performance. i am thinking exedy may be a good choice. i am new to stick and my clutch has been going so i am not very good at it yet.

suggestions and cheapest place to buy online....thanks

should i go with oe replacement or the performance stage 1.

i drive aggressively and was thinking the stiffer clutch would be better for start...ill take it to the track a few times with a few mods

what would the price of a stage 1 run about?

thanks

i think it would be a better idea to just get an OEM clutch since he plans to only get basic bolt-ons. its cheaper, and theres much less chance to break gears. unless you like slightly more resistance on the clutch of course.....

BTW, wheres a good place to get poly motor mounts?
