Aftermarket Clutch Recommendations

I need a new clutch, I don't want to break the bank, but I want a clutch that feels good and will hold up over time better than this stock one has. I bought the car 25K miles ago and the clutch was slipping then, I've managed to make it last but now it's slipping a little too often.

I also want a flywheel or possibly lightening my current one. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Looks to me the ACT "MM" series clutch is best bang for the buck. its not $600 like the clutchmasters or JWT clutches are.

As for the flywheel, you can't lighten a 4 gen flywheel as theres no place to lighten it. Only options here is Stillen/Mueller Fabricators flywheel or the Unorthodox Racing flywheel. Do a search for flywheel and my username and you'll find all the stuff I've found so far regarding the 4 gen flywheel and lightening it.

Brian, ACT street disk is the way to go. Race disk is unneccessary unless you are planning on putting down 400 hp and 375 ft lb soon. But from the research I've done, ACT is the best choice.

Like the others have mentioned, go with the ACT organic setup. It holds 362 lb-ft of torque to the wheels, so I don't think you'll be overloading it any time soon
