Default Good clutch recommendation

So this winter im going to be installing a new clutch/flywheel. I dont need anything crazy, I will be going FI down the road. Just getting some thoughts/opinions on whats a good clutch/flywheel combo.

check out www.competitionclutch.com/ i have there flywheel and the 1620 sprung hub. it is very easy to drive in traffic and can hold the power you throw at it.

hey bobby1110, does your clutch setup make any
noise at all? if there's no noise, then maybe we've
finally found a setup we can recommend.

Wonderful clutch. I love mine.

I've had clutchmasters in several of my cars and that's my first choice when it's available. their stage 3 clutches always feel as good of better than stock and hold about 100% more torque over stock, great stuff.

ok thanks bobby1110.

i love my rst, but it's nice to know about other
options, for those who might be looking for a nice
quiet setup that can hold good power.

that is funny you say that. from what i understand some of the people that are at comp clutch were in business with clutch masters. they had a falling out and split. i have had both and they are the exact same clutch, pressure plate, and fly wheel from what i can tell.
