Whatwould be the best clutch

I'm gonna do a few things to the car simple bolt ons but my clutch is about roasted, I wanna get a lightweight flywheel and upgraded clutch but which one has the best results in the field? I've always had clutch problems with buying the wrong one for all my cars so far(3 on my neon till one worked) So I'd rather not stay on the path of fukd clutch. Thanks

If you are going for the aluminum flywheel, get the aasco one. It is the best price, and apparently the same piece unorthodox resells. As for clutchs, alot of guys use the ACT. Honestly, I have a stock Borg and Beck (I know it's borg and something) I got cheap at Strauss Auto. It works great, no problems. I have minor bolt on modded vg and I chirp 2nd hard. Unless you are pushing over 220 HP, a hardcore clutch will only frustrate you and wear the hell out of your drivetrain mounts, and as most people don't know, a stiff clutch wears out the thrust bearing on the crank. Just my opinion though.

ACT is good and Centerforce is like stock but as it ages it gets better.

I have an ACT street clutch thats about 5000 miles old now...I love it. I also had the stock flywheel lighted some...it has helped with many things and once you are used to ACT clutch...its nothing to drive just like driving stock hehehe..
