Default Replacement clutch?

After only 25K my original clutch is starting to feel a bit weak. Too many launches at the autocross I guess. Anyway, the car is completely stock and I don't autocross too much anymore. I want a clutch that operates smoothly, but is a bit more durable. I'm just wondering if another factory clutch would be fine if I wasn't autocrossing, or if there is a good aftermarket clutch that operates smoothly and holds up better than stock. I'm not interested in any hard core racing clutch.

Please let me hear your recommendations and reasons why you like the aftermarket clutch you bought. Also, did you buy all three pieces or just a disc or disc and plate???

Thanks in advance.

Bill

I would definitely get:
OEM disc
ACT pressure plate

good to do also:
OEM TO bearing and pilot bearing

For me, lightweight flywheel. you can deglaze the stock flywheel with sand paper if it's not to burnt and it will be 100% fine.

That is a good question.....seems there is only one type that has been sent to me in 20+ installs. The yellow one

But if you do find there are others, one above stock is preffered.

ACT only has the one pressure plate they use the disc to chang the clamping force.
