Default clutch replacement

gotta replace the clutch in my daily driver NA ap2 (PP or Throw out bearing are rattling under deceleration). I'd like something more aggresive than stock, but compatible with dailey driver. The car has 56k miles on it.

I had wanted to go with something more aggressive as well about a year ago.. ended up getting a competition stage 2 clutch. it crapped out on me with less than 10k on it, had it almost a yr, competition wouldnt warranty it. had to pay for ANOTHER clutch this week. dont' get competition!

I've heard good things about the combo hardtopguy has with the act pressure plate, though it is stiffer.

I get my car back tonight, went back to OEM. the way I figure it... I'll stay stock unless I plan on putting more power into the car that the stock clutch can't handle.

Look into some of the sponsors, they have some pretty good deals on reputable brands.
