Default Replacing Clutch, Need help choosing a clutch.

Since my throw out bearing needs replacing, i've decided to just replace the whole clutch and flywheel. My car only has 24,xxx miles so it was surprising to me that my throw-out bearing needed replacing. anyways, what clutch should i get for my mach 1? i was thinking a spec stage 2+, but also would like to hear everyones opinion.

I highly recommend getting a Centerforce Dual Friction clutch
with a matching Centerforce steel flywheel.It is the best clutch
I ever used.The Centerforce Dual Friction clutch is easy and pleasant
to drive,but still grabs hard.Engagement is smooth and positive.
The quality and reliability of the Centerforce clutches is excellent.
I can feel that my Centerforce Dual Friction clutch has more clamping force than the spec stage 2 clutch I had.Also the Centerforce Dual Friction
clutch does not chatter or make strange noises like my spec clutch did.
Definitley avoid the spec clutches like the plauge.My spec stage 2 clutch
failed in 5K miles.I personally think that spec clutches are interior junk
and I will never purchase a spec clutch ever again.

I just purchased a ford racing cobra clutch from late model restoration for $270. Cant beat OEM in my opinion unless your making some serious power. No chatter and you can slip it a little. Isnt that centerforce dual friction clutch like $1200?

Nope I got a great deal on my Centerforce Dual Friction clutch.
I only payed $344.95 for my Centerforce Dual Friction clutch
from this place and it's the best clutch I ever used.
