Time to replace the clutch

Well its bad enough that I need to adjust the clutch but I aint having none of that, Im replacing it. Bad thing is Stage 1 wont suffice for the future gains I want, and the Stock one doesnt hold the power the car has now.

Options:

ACT Stage 1 - good experience with their products, but I dont want a 70/30 disc clutch

ACT stage 3 - Not a fan of solid 4 puck disc

Workz- any stage too damn expensive for the same crap

Clutchmasters I found on Ebay - Dont have any experience with them(Anyone can tell me if they are good?)
They have a Kevlar disc and the one Im interested in, a Street Presure plate and a 4 puck sprung ceramic disc

Can anyone Recommend or not this brand?

Well, I have RRM stage 1 which is Clutchmasters. I don't know what kind of power you are expecting to get out of your car, but look at my sig and I couldn't be happier. This is a great clutch for street driving, but I'd prob go with something diff if I was dragging.

Weird, I thought RRM's was ACT, but now I see the WHITE pressure plate

But If you have Turbo and it holds, pretty much that is a good review. Im getting boned for shipping though, 115 dollars and only getting express mail as an option

Someone should do some homework and see what other cars use the same clutch as us.

From time to time I bug Exedy about making a performance clutch for us, but they never bite. I'm even generous enough to offer them my car in exchange for a free one (they're local to me). Jerks, I wanna free clutch.

Are those custom made PR?

Or by stages?

How about pricing

they come up to a stage 5+ (s1,s1+,s2,2+ and so on..)
i used stage 3 in mine for the use of nitrous and hard abuse, that one is not solid

Off topic....but I wonder why you guys get hosed all the time on shipping.
It's not like it is rocket science to ship to Puerto Rico.... You don't even need documentation for products under $2500.....
A 20lb package from where I live valued at about $500 should only cost about $80....the $115 shipping should be about right for priority shipping (next day)....that sucks that is the only option they give.
The only company that would ask for documentation would be Fed Ex.....just because they ask for paperwork on everything.

Because the boat is slow and the captain is paid hourly?

well if you ship things via regular mail (usps) you pay like any other stare but when you use fed ex, dhl or ups.... well we tend to get nailed....

they consider pr 'international' when in fact we are part of the states...
