Default Clutch life?

Hey guys, how long do your clutches usually last before they start slipping, my centerforce dual friction has only been in for about 6 months and it's already slipping in 3rd. It's winter, so I don't drive crazy either, and I just wondered what the life on your clutches were. Also, I don't think I'm gonna go Centerforce on the new clutch, what are your recommendations? My mods are in the cardomain link in my sig. I appreciate all help, thanks guys.

all depends on how you drive are you sure your wheels arent spinning and not your clutch... i use the ford heavy duty clutch i think its called a cobra hd something or other worked fairly good for me.. um i do alot of drifting events so i go through a clutch about 8-9 months on my other car i have had the hd clutch on it for about year and a half now.. and i do alot of city driving..

I once had king cobra only lasted about a year after heavy use, Now I have a spec clutch and it has worked flawlessly for over a year now, once I get the tko in im going to get a stage 2 plus... you happy now?
