Default clutch replacement... again.

It looks like my comp clutch is on its way out... So i think ill be doing things the right way this time...

My06.
75k miles

Ap1 flywheel
Oem friction disk
Oem or hd act Pp.

Is there anywhere you can find the act HD for less than 350$? Not trying to be cheap but my cars going to be stock with intake exhaust and flash pro for the next several years.... So if not then ill Just go all OEM with the ap1 flywheel and call it a day.

Thoughts other options and the answer to my question would be appreciated

Doubt you will find the ACT HD for less than that. Is your s2000 just NA? Keep all OEM. I only had to run a comp stage 4 because of my power but if I could, I would be OEM forever. It bums me that I cannot stay oem.

did you find the ACT HD PP for $350 somewhere or was that just an arbitrary number?

This. If you've found it for that cheap, I need to know.

DO you still have AP1 flywheel in now? If so you can resurface.

Buy all OEM Parts, be it the throw out bearing, friction disk, pilot bearing (I can't remember the secondary bearing, but i'm pretty sure it's Pilot).

The only third party item you should consider is the Pressure plate (ACT HD), otherwise buy a OEM pressure plate.

This will be the most reliable and quietest setup.
