Default New clutch

need to buy a new clutch and not going to replace it with OEM so any opinions on which one is best? car is basically stock. Need something that will hold up but is decent to daily drive and wont break the T-5.

Thanks

the great debate on clutches, Ive had a king cobra and it was a POS, i had a spec and it was alright.. I now have a promotion clutch and its the best one yet... I know a guy on a local form that had 2 DFX's go bad shortly after break-in

IF YOUR CAR IS MOSTLY STOCK AND NO HEAVY upgrades are planned a KC clutch works well, had one for 5 years and I beat on it and it's still usable, but looks as if I'm gonna upgrade to the centerforce line of clutches

How is that clutch? Thats the one I was told to get for mine, when its time to change it. What are the differences from that one and the stock one? Just so I know.

centerforce has to be one of the best clutches IMHO. they have taken clutches to a new level as far as some of the technologies they incorporate and they hold a couple signature patents on their designs.
