Default Clutch Poll

So, I feel my clutch going out and it's time for a new one. I have a Center Force Dual Friction in it right now, and am not to sure I wanna go with it again, but here's a poll and I wanna know what you guys like best, performance wise. I have about 268 Horse Power and 336 pounds of Torque with a T5 Tranny. What do you guys think would be best for my set up, just want your advice, thanks. Also, if you have any other brands and models, let me know, thanks guys.

I just installed a CF Dual Friction, but have not completed all the work so I have not tested it yet. I was interested in why you probably won't go with the Centerforce again. Didn't like it?

no real reason, I've only had my car for about 3 months, not real sure how long it was in it before that, but it doesn't seem like it can take much, grabbed good, but just slowly started hesitating, thats why I included it in the poll to see what other people have experienced with it.

I have a CF DF and it's poop. Doesn't grab at all, slips a bit on quick gear changes...I plan on going with a Spec Stage 2 next.

yeah, that's what my CF does, I'm probably going in the Spec 2 direction to, but I've heard bad things on all Clutches, and I just wanted everyones opinion before making my choice
