centerforce clutch

ok...like in october, my clutch went out, so i went to some reputable transmission place and had it replaced...the oem clutc was 210 dollars, and already its slipping, and sux nutz. From the start, it had to light of a feel, and its holding power was marginal at best. I am currently looking at a centerforce stage two http://www.nopionline.com/index.cfm?...20Kit&vaffid=0 -copy/paste that link-is this a good choice? will i benifit?

go for a nice centerforce clutch, it's the best one on the market. but hey, if you want to go with a centerforce one, that's cool. i have the centerforce dual friction one, and i like it. whatever works for you.

i've heard the same things about centerforce clutches. It was suggested to me to look into ACT, much better.

I'll second that... I've heard the same rumors, there are quite a few people running on ACT clutches, and they seem to be the most popular for the turboed applications.

i'ld go with ACT if you're gonna do a BPT swap in the future, it may cost more, but I know I'ld rather buy one good clutch now then have to buy another one a few months after you do the BPT swap.
