+1 on the Centerforce. I have also had good service with the Ford Racing King Cobra clutch for a daily driver. The Centerforce has an easier feel to the pedal and grabs like hell when you accelerate.

yea i know its not my cars just bolt ons. its alot cheaper because it comes with the flywheel and stuff, and al the bearing. if it will last the same amount of time, i dnt need a racing clutch. somethign for daily driving that will last, but can take some abuse
